- An adult could make these prompts the day before or involve your child(ren) in the process!
- Cut out “sandy beaches” from sand paper, “waves” from rick rack and glue down seashells. These are just suggestions- we’d love to see what you come up with!
- Allow to dry overnight.
- Put out the creation materials that you would like to use- whether it be drawing and colouring supplies, sketching and painting supplies or stuff to cut up and collage together!
Purpose
- Creating prompts to engage and encourage
- Developing one’s fine motor skills
Safety Notes
- We suggest that you wear a smock and use a craft tray to protect your clothing and surfaces.
- Use scissors with care and adult supervision.
- Cord, yarn, rick rack etc. can be a strangulation hazard, therefore be sure to use with direct supervision and for its intended purpose.
- Small objects such as shells can be a choking hazard, therefore be sure to keep them out of the reach of children ages 0-3 years of age or those that tend to put things into their mouths.
