My boys took extra pleasure in dipping feet and hands into paint and making prints. The boys really enjoyed this one - for instructions, see our inspiration at Rockabye Butterfly. See the paper clip on the top of the plate? My Five is guiding it with a magnet wand ( from this set) from the back. He could hardly let go of it long enough for me to take a picture.

Then I just cut slits in a toilet paper roll and slid in the top of his mushroom. Such a simple and fun project! My Three used a Do-a-dot marker to color half of a paper plate. My One loved sitting on my lap as he glued to his heart’s content. I prepared the circles and placed odds and ends from our craft drawer on the table. My kids each chose a color for their circle. They loved rolling around the box top to create beautiful works of art! We taped a white piece of paper inside a box lid, added a few squirts of paint and threw in a marble. Karen’s Preschool Ideas in a collection of zoo activities.Īll my big kids (ages 3,5, and 6) made one of these. They were quite proud of these! (My Three is still figuring out how to draw a smile :)). While I prepared all the pieces, my boys did the gluing, drawing, and fan-folding for the arms and legs. They placed colorful round office stickers on their M’s, added generous globs of glue, and finished with the mini-marshmallows. I’ve been a mom for over six years, and I think this is the first time I bought marshmallows! The boys were thrilled to have a few before and after completing this fun craft. My Three made the eyes, and my Five added the teeth and horns. This was a cooperative project between my older boys. Find this and many more letter M ideas at Nancy Nolan’s Kindergarten. I don’t recommend a solo diet of these kinds of projects, but I think they have value - for basic fine motor and skills practice - and many kids take pride in producing this kind of craft. When you cut out the pieces, it’s a simple gluing and placing activity for preschoolers. When my Three came into the kitchen asking for a project, I pulled this one out. Be sure to mix the paint with water so that it spreads easily when you blow through the straw. This was my one of my Three’s favorite projects! He used an eye dropper, paint, and a plastic straw to create these adorable little monsters.
