Igloo, craft for toddlers



 


IGLOO

Craft for toddlers

Supplies: - white paper

                  - blue construction paper (black or purple works too)

                  - scissors

                  - glue


First step: 

Cutting strips of white paper (which is a fine motor activity).  I like to help them  by entering my fingers with theirs if they want me too ( I have small fingers).  If one refuse I move along and help another one if they are managing well by themself I sit with them and cut some.  If they choose to rip instead, that's fine, it is also a good way to develop the muscles of their fingers.


Second step:

 I make two arches with glue and give them the strips of paper that we gathered earlier    (I, actually, cut a good amount of them).

When my students point to their project and say "I made this", that makes me happy.

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.
