3-5-01A fun activity for toddlers is baby chicks and bunnies. Attach a piece of poster board or mural paper to the wall. Outline several bunnies or chicks using a glue stick. Fill in the areas. Let the children use colored cotton balls (found at Wal-Mart) to make beautiful bunnies and chicks. Before displaying on your bulletin board or in your room add some Easter grass to the bottom of the picture.
3-5-01Your Toddlers can make Sparkling Raindrops. Give each child a narrow container and white paper. Let the children roll a golf ball back and forth in sparkle paint. When they are finished let dry and cut into raindrop shapes.
2-22-01To make footprint tulips: First paint the child's arm (from wrist to elbow) with washable green paint, press painted arm onto a large sheet of paper. That is going to be the stem of the flower. Then paint the child's foot this will be the bud of the tulip. Now paint the child's hands green also and press hands on opposite sides of the stem. The hand prints will make leaves coming from the stem. Once you are done you have a beautiful tulip.
2-22-01Butterflies: have children draw on coffee filters with water-based markers. Then spray these lightly with water, which will make the colors run together for a great effect. hang to dry - you can read a couple of butterfly books in this time - before wrapping a pipe cleaner around the middle to create two wings. Leave enough pipe cleaner to make antennae out of the end! And birds return in spring, so make binoculars from two toilet paper rolls and some yarn. Glue the rolls together, then tie the string or yarn through a hole on each side to hang around the child's neck. Dead easy and fun for the kids - they love using them to peer at things and people.
2-22-01Let the children pull strips of green tissue paper. Then let them glue them to a piece of construction paper. Put their foot print in the middle of the tissue paper grass and you have barefoot in the grass. Great sensory activity.
2-9-01Handprint flowers. On finger-paint paper, have your child press his handprint several times around a yellow circle previously painted by him in the middle of the paper. The finger will create beautiful petals for his flower. Cut around the edges and decorate a wall.
2-9-01Have kids glue stripes of green tissue paper onto green construction paper and then put their footprints in brown on top of the tissue paper. Bare foot in the Grass. Makes a great sensory activity.
