Feed the penguin


Feed the penguin

Fine motor activity for toddlers
 
I used a pretty big spice container with a black lid (Montreal steak seasoning).  I painted the inside.  I put too much in it so it took a while before drying.  I was changing it of side every so often to make sure it spreads everywhere.
I painted a white oval in the middle, eyes and beak on the lid and orange feet on the bottom.  Next time I will mix the paint with glue because the paint peeled away.


First I drew some fishes on strips of paper for a scissor session one day.  The penguin was up to dry and I told them it was for him to eat.

During nap I cut out some of them but you don't have to.  One child cut a fish in 2, I told him that the penguin didn't mind.
Then the following day during center time, I put the penguin on the table with the fishes and they intuitively knew what to do, even the younger ones.

S'more book for toddlers

 S'more book for toddlers A print concepts activity I had so much fun doing this project during nap.  I'd like to encourage you to draw even if you think you are bad at it.  Most of us draw like a 12 years old because it is when we stopped. I saw on pinterest a similar book but it was for preschool therefore too advanced for my kids so I came up with this one.  I Google hazelnut drawing and to my surprise I found something and same thing with marsmallow fluff.  I chose the simplest one and tried to replicated it.  Well I'm happy with the result. The coloring part was fun too.
