Cardboard snowshoes, art and gross motor activity for toddlers

Cardboard snowshoes

(Art and gross motor activity)

Supplies: - cardboard

- markers

- hole punch

- yarn or string

First activity : decorate them with markers

I first try to use tape for the children to wear them

It didn't work very well. So I punched 4 holes on the edges and used a piece of yarn to make an attachment.

We had fun pretending to walk in the snow.

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.
