Art and Crafts
Create Finger Puppets
What you need:
Old gloves (kitchen gloves work great); permanent textas; strong glue; small lollies, buttons, sequins and other decorations
Description:
Cut off the fingers from a pair of gloves and encourage your children to decorate them. The closed end works best as the head! Little pieces of yarn glued on for hair, lollies for the eyes, button nose and so on. Use the permament texta to draw whatever features are missing.
Make Your Own Playdough
What you need:
1 cup flour, 1/2 cup cooking salt, 1 cup water, 1 tablespoon of cream of tartar, 1 tablespoon of cooking oil, food colouring
Description:
Mix the flour, water, salt and cream of tartar in a saucepan over medium heat until thick. Allow the mixture to cool and then add the oil and knead well over a floured cutting board or similar. Divide this blob evenly into as many colours as you'd like to make. Add food colouring to each ball until it is just the colour your child is looking for. That's it! Allow the children to let their imaginations take them away.
