Crafts: Your child will express her
creativity as she explores different art techniques and materials like
paint, stickers, crayons, food colouring and collage items.

When you go food shopping, pick up some grocery store flyers. Children
can cut out pictures of food, and different words and letters to create
a culinary collage, a paper plate gourmet meal, or their own cook book
simply by gluing scraps onto paper.
Age: 2 1/2 to 5 years

Try making Finger Puppets! This is a wonderful
activity because making the puppet is just the beginning of the fun.
With a little help, children can make their puppets, create their own
play for others to enjoy, and have a new toy to pull out another day.
Age: 3 to 5 years

Paper plates, paint and popsicle sticks are all
that you will need to create magnificent dinosaur masks! Children can
transform into a T-Rex or Triceratops and enjoy hours of make-believe
play in their own imaginary land of the dinosaurs!

Transforming a piece of construction paper into a fan is a simple way
to cope with hot weather. Beginning at the short edge, fold the paper
back and forth accordion style. Then secure one end with tape or a
staple. The fan can be decorated with crayons, stickers or ribbons to
make it fancy!
Age: 2 1/2 to 5 years

Being able to print and recognize their own name is a very important
skill for children to practice. Try making a name card! Names can be
printed on paper or card in big bubble letters and then decorated with
markers, pastels and crayons, or collage materials like buttons,
feathers and bits of colourful tissue.
