Aim the heart, gross motor activity for toddlers for Valentine's Day

Aim the heart

Gross motor activity for toddlers for Valentine's Day

Supplies: - big piece of cardboard (I cut it from a box)

- big strong scissors

Draw a big heart in the middle of the cardboard. Cut it out and hang it somewhere. I have a clothesline in my classroom to dry art projects so that's where I hung them (I made 2 that I kept from last year so one thing less to do this year).

I give a piece of paper to every child and show them how to crumple it to make a ball (it's a good fine motor skill). Then we aim the heart, even my youngest (1 year old) worked very hard at it. I love games with paper balls they are so much fun and safe.

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.
