Squeezable Art
Cover a table with newspaper.
Fill muffin trays or clean egg cartons with different colored food coloring and a
small amount of water.
Provide eye droppers and paper towels.
The children can create unique colors and designs as they squeeze and fill, then
empty their droppers on the paper towel.
Hang the paper towels to dry and enjoy the art gallery!
It’s a Snap
Provide opportunities daily for children to use linking or snapping blocks such as
Duplos or Legos.
Make a game of linking blocks together to match the length of the child’s arm or
the height of a low shelf.
At clean up time, encourage the children to pull the linking blocks apart piece by
piece and return them to the storage tub.
Special Needs Tip
Remember that larger snapping blocks are easier to manipulate.
Smaller blocks provide a greater fine motor challenge to children
with limited dexterity. Some children may find it difficult to pull
blocks apart, while putting them together may be easier.
The Dizzy Caterpillar
Cut out large leaf patterns from cardboard or styrofoam.
Punch six holes in the boards fairly close together.
Use extra long pipe cleaners in assorted colors for “caterpillars.”
Encourage the children to thread their fuzzy caterpillar in and out of the
leaf holes.
Read The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle and watch it make its way
through dinner!
