Idea's
Prepare a tray, waterproof mat, wipes or bowl for washing hands afterwards. Keep a selection of colourful papers, crayons, pencils or felt tips out in a pencil case or a small pot so they stay organised.
Activities could include:
- Tearing strips of paper using pincer grip fingers
- Cutting thin strips of paper with scissors for collage materials later
- Cutting drawn on lines and around shapes and pictures (older children)
- Homemade playdough
- Chalk, paint, drawing – a few on a tray, small bowl to keep bits in, mat or board for working on
- Threading: small bowl of penne or macaroni pasta, string with knot at the end
- Simple flowers: print, colour in and cut out a circle with petals or make it as elaborate as you can like
- Use wood scraps, legos, felt and yarn pieces for collages
- Sew, knit, crochet
- Try origami
- Paint with poster paints, chalk mixed with water, watercolours, oils, food colouring in water
- Compose music
- Make up stories and / or write stories
- Make puppets
- Write a puppet play (or any play), perform a reader’s theatre after building the sets
