Holiday craft for the kids
September 17, 2008
Crafting while enjoying a holiday with the kids is something the parents should enjoy along with the kids. It is not essential that the children should complete the project and have a foresight as to what the project should be. It is not about creating something special and in particular. For young kids they need to participate in the play activity which is more of game and a bit of learning for them. The kids would also have to use their senses and this gives them new experiences.
Here are some crafts that you and your children can enjoy together.
Finger painting is a wonderfully engaging activity for the child. They can experience the craft as well as be creative. You can use natural colors, water colors or plain mud. You can also add some glitter or sand. The children can be encouraged to hum their favorite tunes or nursery rhymes while they do the work so that they can enjoy even more. Yarn painting is also a very exciting activity. You can let them dip yarn pieces and then it should be dragged across the paper. It is always a nice experience to use something other than brush to paint. The yarn can be disposed off when it is done. You can also use a Q tip brush, dot, scrub and these are used in good coordination.
Glue art is also one such activity that makes you draw some lines of glue on paper and make your child use their fingers to make random spots on paper. Different objects can be pasted on the glue like tissue paper, feathers, yarn, cotton, glitter and sand. The salt dough sculpture is also great for making sand sculptures. They can also make potato prints or lady’s finger prints. The potatoes can be scooped and cut in shapes and dipped in paints and then the impressions can be made on paper.
These activities are fun and they also encourage you to spend some quality time with the kids and save them from spending time out in the sun and falling sick.
