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.

Ice fishing, activity for toddlers

ICE FISHING Cognitive Activity for toddlers I wrapped a box with white paper,  then cut out a hole on one side.  I put magnet fishes in it and gave my "kids" the magnet fishing poles that goes with them.  If you don't have that you can make your own poles with paper towel tubes with a string and a letter magnet and paper fishes with a paper clip.   This activity is good for initiative, engagement in learning and cognitive flexibility.

Snowy owl

  Snowy owl Craft for toddlers Preparation  Cut out 2 big circles per child and 2 smaller black circles, glue the black ones in the yellow ones, cut out a black triangle.  Get ready 3 black construction papers, 3 dark blue and 3 purple. The activity It can be done as a full group or small or individually.   Go with the flow of your class that moment. I like to make one in advance as a model and if they are responsive I make one in front of them for them to see the steps. I gave them choice of the dark colors, (toddlers love to have choice) and makes them learning their name and recognizing them. Spread a good amount of white tempera paint with a little glue mixed in, on a dark construction paper.  Demonstrate your children how to spread it as you give them a white feather, if they get frustrated give them a paint brush. When they are done give them the eyes and the beak.
