Seal pup, craft for toddlers

SEAL PUP CRAFT FOR TODDLERS

Supplies:

- White tempera

- White glue

- 1 paint brush per child

- 2 little black circles for the eyes per child (googly eyes are a choking hazard for children under 3.)

- 1 purple circle with nose and mouth drawn per child

- 1 cut out seal pup silhouette per child

(I'm not an artist, if I can do this so can you. Don't try to be perfect, your toddlers are not asking you that)

Activity

It can be done as a group or one by one, it all depend on the atmosphere of your class at that moment. Here how I did it :

I mix white paint and white glue in a bowl. I wrote the name of one child on a piece of purple paper and gave him/her a paint brush right away that I dipped in the white mixture. So they have something else to do than waving and destroying the paper.

When everyone has their paper I gave them the seal pup silhouette and dipped again the brush instructing them and modeling painting on an inside out motion to create the fur.

If they wanted more paint I gave them more and when they were done I gave them the eyes and nose.

Please don't make art to impress the parents or co-workers. Your goal should be to encourage art appreciation, creativity, developing fine motor skills and confidence.

Have fun creating with your little 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.
