All this stuff can be brought at the 2$ shop, or any arts and craft place...
A book of colored paper,
Some plain paper
scissors
glue stick ( if you forget just add some water to a bit of cooking flower and you have clag.)
You cut up into little pieces the colored paper, you can cut tiny squares, (but you'll be there all day) or you can cut all shapes and sizes...
Then you can draw a picture, for example being Christmas you'd draw a Christmas tree, then have your child glue lots of different colors inside the drawing...
Mosaic (SP) pictures are fun for kids to do, and if you cut the pieces of paper small enough you will have the occupied for quite some time...
I just did this with the kids at the day care and they loved it... |
