| The preschool crafts on our website are meant to coordinate with our weekly thematic units. However, they are wonderful stand alone activities that hit important skills children will take with them to Kindergarten and beyond. Most of our ideas are simple and easy to clean up, making them fantastic go-to crafts. |
| Making Tracks Set up the easels and break out the paint shirts and let your little railroad tycoons "build" tracks to their homes. Let the children try dipping train cars or other toys with wheels into paint, then run them over their papers to make tracks. Encourage the children to think about the things they go past on their way home, and paint "tracks" past those landmarks. Make sure they include an "X" at the end to indicate their home. For example, the children might paint flowers beside one part of their track and a lake by another, or may just end up with a spiral of tracks ending in an "X." Let them decide how to create their maps, and have fun! |
| Recycled Art Store up a collection of broken bits, chipped clay pots, strings of beads, plastic cutlery, old milk cartons, aluminum foil, buttons, scraps of fabric, colored paper destined for the recycle box, tin cans, plastic lids, and just about any odds and ends you might ordinarily throw away. Provide plenty of adhesives, crayons, and fun decorations, and allow the children to come up with ideas for how to use these items to create a work of art. The artwork can be collaborative, using all the materials with everyone helping, or each child can come up with their own creation. Guide the children, but let the artwork be theirs. Display it proudly! |
| Paper Plate Sunflowers Make sunflowers from paper plates and sunflower seeds. Let the children glue lots of the seeds (the type with the shell intact) in the center of their plates. Then provide bits of crumpled-up yellow tissue paper for the petals, and let the children glue these around the outside of the glued-on seeds. Hang from the ceiling for a very cheery atmosphere! |
| Birthday Presents for Jesus Birthday Craft Page 1 Birthday Craft Page 2 Provide a variety of small printables for the children to color in. You might have a picture of a heart, a musical note or treble clef, praying hands, a picture of a child doing a chore, a friend helping another friend, and a picture of a Bible. See if the children can name how each picture shows a gift we can give Jesus. After the children have colored their little "gifts," let them paste them onto colorful construction paper. Provide bows and ribbons, and show the children how to paste these onto their "presents" to look like a gift-wrapped box. |
| Swirly, Snowy, Starry Night Pictures In front of each child place a small jar or bowl filled with about a 50/50 ratio of sugar and lukewarm water. Let the children stir the water to observe the sugar dissolving. This may prompt a discussion about "is it there if you can't see it?" - which can be an excellent time to discuss Jesus! Provide colored chalk and a sheet of heavy dark blue or black construction paper for each child. Let the children dip the chalk into the bowls or jars of sugar water (stirring it a little each time) and then apply the wet chalk to the paper in swirls and whirls. Then let the children paste small cotton balls or wisps and foil stars onto their creations. The sugar crystals will sparkle once the piece it dry. Van Gogh, look out! |
