Craft for toddlers

Please don't ask for printables.  You can do this.  I'm not an artist if I can, so can you.

1. Draw a big oval on a black construction paper and cut 4 of them at a time.  Repeat for a group of 8.

2. Fold 2 white copy papers and draw an oval for the belly and 2 smaller ones for the eyes, cut them out.  Draw a circle inside of each eye for the pupils.

3. Fold a yellow construction paper in 4 and draw 2 triangles for the beak, cut them out.

4. Fold an orange construction paper in 4 and draw 4 webbed feet (they don't have to be perfect or exactly the same, your toddlers dont ask you that).  Cut them out.

If your group is not familiar with crafting I suggest you apply the glue and give them each part 1 or 2 at a time.  Don't give them the items too early, they'll probably end up on the floor or in their mouth or who knows where.  As they get used to, you might be able to trust them (maybe just the oldest) with a glue stick.

Aren't they cute!?

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.
