Great for a valentine's card. First cut out a heart shape, then lay it on black paper and using chalk go around it. Lift the heart and done. We went around the heart with our finger but you do not have too. Looks good either way.
Fun activity for any baby or toddler who loves to pull wipes out of the container! We replace the wipes with some fabric scraps, and let my toddler have fun pulling them all out and putting them all back in. It helps them work on fine motor skills, but also is a sensory activity with the different textures of fabric.
simple and easy!~ First using glue let ur kid/kids have fu nand make picture on a piece of paper. Then go over the glue with salt. Once all glue is covered, turn the paper over to get rid of the extra salt. Let dry. Once dry use either watercolors or water that has food coloring in it and paint over the salt. Watch as the salt changes color, you can even try mixing colors on the salt!
To make the fabric heart~ First cut out how many hearts you want, making the next one smaller then the one before. (we did 4 different size hearts) Then sew them together. (we went straight down the middle) Last glue the heart to the card and finish decorating the card! Done!
Cutting out in all forms helps young children to develop their fine motor skills - and it's fun, too! recipie for lemon play dough~ 2 1/2 cups of flour 1/2 cup of salt 3 tablespoons of cooking oil 1 1/2 cups of hot water yellow food coloring and little bit of lemon juice mix note- if to sticky add more flour Also use any scissors that work for our kid/kids. My daughter has mastered using "kiddy" scissors so with a watchful eye we moved on to "adult" scissors .
