Coaching toddlers

IS IT SPRING? One week art project for toddlers Supplies: - Light green construction paper - brown construction paper  - cotton swabs - brown crayons - Pink Watercolor or pink bingo dauber  - Dark green construction paper - Pink and/or yellow construction paper First day : We ripped some brown paper, encouraging and demonstrating to make long strips. Then I gave my students a light green sheet of construction paper and a glue stick (helping them a little along the way).  Then I gave them a handful of cotton swabs and a brown crayons after I demonstrated to color the middle of them. Then I spread some glue line around the tree trunk and instructed them to place the swabs on top and press for a few seconds. Then my assistant helped them to dab a pink bingo dauber on each end of the swabs. Second day: I gave them the choice between a pink or yellow little square of construction paper and showed them, one by one, how to fold it in a 🔺️ then in a tulip by folding up the two lower corners.

  POT OF GOLD AND RAINBOW art activity for toddlers It was a two days project for us.  The first day we glued the coins.  I let the children using a glue stick by themself then I demonstrated picking up glitter from my left palm with my fingers and sprinkling it on glue drops that I previously applied on each coin.  Some followed my directions and some just dumped the whole handful in one spot 😀. Then I shook the free ones and gathered them in my palm again and sprinkled again.  It was a good fine motor activity   The following day we pasted the 7 colors on the rainbow strip in the back of the pot of gold. May the luck of the Irish be with you today! 😀 ☘️    Go see my other St-Patrick's Day activities :  Shamrock suncatcher : https://coachingtoddlers.blogspot.com/2023/03/shamrock-suncatcher-art-activity-for.html St-Patrick's Day pattern activity :  https://coachingtoddlers.blogspot.com/2023/03/st-patricks-day-pattern-activiry-for.html 2023 Leprechaun mask :  https://coachingt

  SHAMROCK SUNCATCHER art activity for toddlers 

  ST-PATRICK'S DAY PATTERN ACTIVITY  for toddlers Pattern activities are always interesting to my toddlers during circle.

  LEPRECHAUN MASK art activity for toddlers, also good for sens of self It is pretty easy, give them a paper plate, orange paint and a paint brush.  When it's dry cut out a circle in the middle and give them a green triangle for the hat.  Secure with scotch tape the two spots on each side where you will punch a hole.  Tie two pieces of yarn and tie it behind the head of  agreeable children.   As a sens of self activity I pick them up turn by turn for them to look at themself in the morror.

  INSERTING COINS IN A POT OF GOLD Fine motor activity for toddlers I cut out two pots of gold out of a folded black construction paper.  I covered one with contact paper, put the other one on top and covered it too but making sure the contact paper is lined with the black construction paper to leave an opening.   My students got it quickly.  I love to see those fingers working.  Do you know that electronic devices are bad for fine motor development.  Put your little ones' fingers to work.
