Supplies per child: 1 1/2 slices of bread, 1 T. jam or cheese spread, 2 Saltine
crackers, 1/4 of a rectangle graham cracker.
Provide each child with one slice of bread and a another piece sliced
diagonally. Have them put the whole slice on a plate and the diagonal slice on
top to represent the roof (wide side down). Put a tablespoon of jam or cheese
spread on the bread as the "paint" and have the child spread it on the house.
Give them two Saltine crackers to place on each upper side of the whole bread
slice (windows) and the quarter piece of graham cracker (door) between the
Saltine crackers.
This is a good fine motor activity as well as helping children to recognize a
square, triangle, and rectangle shape. Then, they can enjoy eating the house!
