Todays project was very easy but kept my 5 year old entertained for almost 2 hours.
I needed any easy project today, that didn't require much mom help (it was cleaning day). My 2 1/2 year old was sleeping so this was the perfect educational craft.
items needed:
Large piece of paper
glue stick
scissors
marker
old newspapers or magazines
Divide the paper into columns or a grid. Label each box with the a small drawn picture of a shape. I used triangle, square, rectangle, circle, cube, star, cylinder and cone.
Have your child search through the magazines or newspaper ads to find pictures that they think represent each shape. Then have them cut out the pictures and glue them in the appropriate box.
It is a simple project, but my daughter had alot of fun looking for the shapes and worked on her scissoring skills at the same time.
This project was 2 1/2/ hours start to finish (set-up and clean-up), was free and required only about a half hour of parent involvement. This would be a great group project.
