CUTTING GRASS
|
Give your child a 3” strip of green paper. |
|
Show her how cut small straight lines along the top edge (fringing). |
|
Have her glue the fringed strip along the bottom of a piece of paper. |
|
Set out some marking pens and have her draw an outdoor picture above the grass.
|
|
CUTTING STRAWS
|
Give your child a large plastic drinking straw. |
|
Have him cut the straw into (approx. 1”) sections. |
 |
Then give him a twelve inch piece of yarn, with tape wrapped around one end to create a needle. |
|
Show your child how to string the straw sections onto his yarn piece. |
|
Tie the two ends together when your child is finished to make a straw necklace. |
|
CUTTING FLOWERS
|
Give your child either a small paper cup or a paper baking cup. |
|
Show him how to cut slits from the outside (or top) towards the middle. |
|
When your child is finished cutting have him smash the cup and watch as the cup turns into a flower shape. |
|
These can be glued onto a piece of paper and green paper stems and leaves can be added.
|
|
CUTTING TRIANGLES
|
Set out some small pieces of square or rectangle paper. |
|
Show your child how to cut the corners of these papers to create triangles. |
 |
Let your child continue to snip corners until she has about 16-20 triangles. |
|
Give your child a piece of paper and some glue and have her glue the triangle shapes onto the paper in an interesting design. |
