| CROWNS
FOR KINGS |
| |
Take a piece of 9 x 12 construction paper
and cut a zig-zag through the middle of the paper lengthwise. |
| |
Tape the two strips together with tape. |
| |
Let your child decorate his king's crown
by gluing on glossy paper triangle shapes (to represent
jewels). |
 |
When he is done, wrap the crown around his
head and tape it to fit. |
|
Let your child be King for a day and wear
his/or her crown. |
|
|
KLEENEX K's |
| |
If you don't want to make kisses, you could let your child
glue small squares of Kleenex tissue on his K shape. |
| |
You can make this tissues K's 3-D by first having your child
cover his K with glue. |
| |
Then give him a pencil and show him how to place the tissue
square on top of the pencil's eraser. |
| |
Then, show him how to wrap the square around the end of the
pencil and then press the pencil onto the glued K surface. |
 |
The tissue will adhere to the glue and your child will pull
the pencil out to use again. |
|
This activity takes a while to do but it is quite nice when
it is finished. |
