String: To help develop pre-reading skills, make up cards with patterns for colored beads. Let your child follow the pattern as he strings his beads.
COTTON BALL EASTER EGG
Paige did this in preschool
Supplies needed:
81/2x11 white construction paper Pastel colored cotton balls Child safe scissors Elmers glue, or some time of construction paper or stick glue
Take the construction paper and fold it in half length wise. Take your scissors and cut out a half oval shape along the non folded edge, making sure that one end is cut a little flat (oval at the top, flat/straight on the bottom), you can draw it out with a pencil first to help with the cutting. Open your paper and it should look like an egg (this is similar to cutting out a valentine heart). Put glue on section of the egg and apply various colored cotton balls, continue until the entire egg is covered. For the more creative one, try putting the colored cotton balls on in some type of pattern. Let dry and hang on wall or refrigerator for all to see!!!!
