Holiday Homework for Nursery

the brush both the holes. This causes a speckled effect on the paper. When the stencil is lifted, the
area underneath remain white. Children love to do this.
Thread painting: Take a piece of paper. Dip a length of thread into paint and then place it on one half
of the paper. Fold the paper over it and wriggle the thread about. Then open the paper out and leave
it to dry. This results in most interesting effects. A variation of this technique is to hold one end of the
thread down on the paper, after dipping it shaping it down on the paper.
Cutting and Pasting: Allow the child to tear coloured paper into small pieces. Draw outlines for him
on a piece of paper and then ask him to stick the bits of paper within the outline. If the child is old
enough, let him use scissors.
Modelling: A dough made out of 1 cup flour + ¾ cup salt is a good substitute for clay or plasticine
and can be stored in the refrigerator.
Note: Put activity sheets in a nice folder made with the help of your child and send it to school
after holidays. The creative work of your child will be displayed on Open day, scheduled for
the month of July 2013.
