Craft For Children - Playgroup 1 March 2008

Here's a simple craft for small children where children can enjoy sticking color strips of paper on to the animal printouts.

Materials:

1. Printout of animal pictures
2. Color paper cut into small strips
3. Glue


Methods:

1. Cut color paper into small strips.
2. Print pictures of animals.
3. Apply glue onto the whole picture.
4. Stick color paper strips onto picture.

After you are done, what do you do with the animal collage? Keep in the box? NO!!


What about doing these?

1. Cut out the animal collage and stick it on a cardboard to make a cute greeting card.
2. Cut a big strip of cardboard the size of your child's head to make a cute hat. Stick the animal collage in the middle and let's role play! (See picture)
3. Suggestion one can be modified and be made a wall decoration instead of a greeting card.
4. Suggestion two can be modified and be made the outer layer of a pencil stand instead of a hat. We would need a container to measure the diameter of the cardboard instead of our child's head.

So, this would be our craft for tomorrow's playgroup. Do you think the children will like this?
