After nosotros read the book, nosotros used our ain x piddling fingers to create a handprint color matching game amongst newspaper plates! We also turned it into a GIANT retention game too!
This action was super uncomplicated to brand as well as slowly to set up. It was also able to hold out adapted for older kids past times changing it into a to a greater extent than challenging retention game.
Materials Needed: newspaper plates, pencil, a multifariousness of crayons or markers, painter's record (optional)
Prep:
Before nosotros started playing our game nosotros traced my boy as well as daughter's hands onto newspaper plates amongst a pencil. I traced iv correct hands as well as iv left hands for each tiddler thence that nosotros ended upward amongst xvi plates (8 left hands as well as 8 correct hands)!
After the handprints were traced amongst a pencil, nosotros went over them chop-chop amongst dissimilar colored makers. We made a correct as well as left manus inwards each color... thence that each correct manus had a matching left manus inwards that same color!
Note that I didn't describe the hands amongst the markers... I used a pencil. I bring done that it the past times as well as the kids simply current of air upward amongst loads of markers on their hands.
