Patriotic wind spinner craft for toddler

 PATRIOTIC WIND SPINNER CRAFT FOR TODDLER






First day we painted one side of a paper plate blue. Touch both side of the plate to feel if one is smoother and choose the other side for the blue.


Day two, I put 4 or 5 pieces of painter tape on the smoother side then asked the kids to paint red.


Day 3 we removed the tape.

Day 4 I drew a spiral line and I helped my interested friend to cut along.  I cut most.  Then I hole punched the middle and attached a piece of yarn, and voilà

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.

The coloring part was fun too.   

Beach Art for Toddlers

Step 2 : This year  my class is very young so that step was made one student at a time.  I diluted white glue with the same amount of water in one piece of egg carton, dipped a paintbrus
