This is great fun, great for developing physical skills, listening skills, maths skills and for children to learn how to follow instructions. Lots of fun ideas home or school, enjoy!
Half Term Fun Ideas
Half term ahead, an opportunity to have a little bit of together time and fun time. Here are a few ideas you might like to try. Take some time for yourselves and enjoy!
Mother's Day Cards
, I love this sort of creativity in a card and so do my children. Not only does it look wonderful, I love how the children can't wait to tell their mums, nans, just like a mum, just how they made it. I hope you all give it a go, a very rewarding activity.
Mother's Day Cards
Lovely little card which is very simple, but very effective. Great fine motor practise.
Fork Printing Mother's Day
Fork painting is wonderfully satisfying and a great way to be creative. Using the forks to create tulips makes for a perfect card to give to mums for their special day.
Mother's Day
Button flowers; an opportunity to be creatice with design as well as flowers. Have fun!
Mother's Day Cards
Pointilism is a favourite of mine. Extremely calming and the children can be exremley creative with colour and design. This is also an excellent fine motor activity.
Mums are like Buttons
Lovely little Mother's Day card. How much input you give will depend on the age of your little one. Regardless, this is always a favourite with mums and I think the card says it all.
Weaving Eggs
Wonderful fine motor activily and wonderful to be creative with outdoor treasure.
Salt Paint Easter Eggs
Such a magical way to explore paint. Children love that moment when the paint touches the salt. A lovely way to creative using different mediums.
Dandelion Fork Painting
A great activity which produced not only a lovely piece of art work, but it also created a wonderful opportunity for talking, developing vocabulary and understanding of the world.
Tulip Fork Painting
We first did fork painting at Christmas and my children were very excited to have another, this time creating tulips. Lots of talk about colour, Spring, flowers parts, shapes of leaves, seeds and bulbs. Happy First day of Spring; love to see your pictures if you have a go. Enjoy!
Easter Bunnies
Toilet roll Easter Bunnies, quick and easy to make. Why not give it a go?
Salt Dough Eggs
Keeping the egg theme going, why not try making salt dough eggs? Moulding, cutting, painting, perfect for little hands, big hands and mummy hands. An opportunity to be creative and an opportunity to talk about Easter and why we have eggs. Have fun!
Easter Bunny Potato Printing
A simple and effective art idea
Potato Chick Printing
Easter is just around the corner, why not have a go at these little cuties. Easy set up, but very effective. Very young children may find it easier to print with the potatoes if they are attached to a fork. These look great on an Easter card. Enjoy!
Nature Eggs
A beautiful way to be creative with the wonderful things you find outddors.
Easter Nests
Such a simple way to keep children entertained and so much learning as you measure, read and portion. Great fine fine motor practise and extremely tasty to eat!
Vase & Flowers
An easy make and something that could be staggered over two days. I painted the toilet rolls on the first day and then made the flowers to complete the activity on the second. I used balsa wood for my stems and the children wound pipe cleaners around them, as they still need to improve their fine motor skills. Lolly sticks or even sticks fton the garden work just as well. Lots of fine motor opportunity, lots of creativity, enjoy!
Father's Day Ideas
My children always enjoy splatter painting and this card was a great opportunity to give it a go again. Simple, but very effective!
Father's Day
Some Father's Day Inspiration
Father's Day Cards
What better way to use up an old jigsaw! A lovely Father's Day card which offers lots of fine motor practise and one which can be produced by most ages. My children really enjoyed making this card, why don't you give it a go!
Father's Day Cards
Simple card; card, masking tape , sponge and paint. Top tip, let the paint completely dry before you remove the tape. Have fun!
Make a Paper Plane
Great activity, linking creativity, science and outdoor fun. It's also something everyone can join in with. Putting the learning in, why is the plane shaped this way? What helps it to fly? If you add a paper clip to the back does it change how it flies? Enjoy your day!
Flower Printing
Cheap and easy set up and an opportunity to be creative with colour and flowers. You could snip the ends of the petals to make them different shapes and you can draw or paint the stems and leaves. Enjoy!
