Edit
My preschooler together with I accept been having fun alongside simple scissor skills activities lately to strengthen her fine motor skills. We brainstormed all of the things nosotros could intend close that relate to St. Patrick's Day together with and thus we've been cutting together with taping together with gluing to brand roughly cool themed creations.
Today nosotros decided to brand our really ain pot o' gold! We used pair of scissors together with a arts and crafts punch for this activeness since my immature lady loves using both when she is creating.
Materials Needed:
colored cardstock inwards rainbow colors (and nonetheless nosotros did purpose all vii colors of the rainbow, my immature lady merely wanted these 6)
dark cardstock
white cardstock
scissors
tape
glue
circle arts and crafts punch (we beloved ours from Fiskars, it is a two inch circle manus punch)
white crayon
To make:
I started off past times drawing a large pot on a slice of dark newspaper using a white crayon. Then my immature lady cutting it out. You tin laissez passer the axe arrive actually simple or a piddling to a greater extent than complex past times adding to a greater extent than cast to the pot.
Next nosotros punched a lot of circles out of our xanthous newspaper to brand gilded together with and thus nosotros wrote numbers on the gilded coins. My immature lady consider it was thus fun to brand coins that said 100 on them.
Next I taped a white slice of newspaper to the pot thus that nosotros had somewhere to seat our gilded coins. My immature lady glued the gilded coins to the overstep of the pot until the pot was alluvion alongside gold!
After the pot was done nosotros worked on cutting out strips of newspaper to brand a rainbow coming out of the overstep of the pot o' gold.
The strips were her favorite to cutting since they were super simple.
Next she organized the strips into rainbow monastic enjoin together with and thus she stuck them onto the pot o' gold.
This was such a fun arts and crafts projection fifty-fifty though it had several steps. Usually nosotros endeavor together with do much to a greater extent than opened upwards ended arts and crafts projects where nosotros are exploring materials together with in that place aren't equally good many steps required. Lately my immature lady has been requesting to a greater extent than structured projects together with has a vert specific consider inwards her caput of what she wants to make. We endeavor together with do a practiced diversity of both structured projects together with procedure centered projects since I intend procedure centered projects are much improve for helping kids educate inventiveness but sometimes the kids veto me.

Despite this projection existence to a greater extent than production centered, it was a fun connecting activeness for me together with my daughter. I enjoyed sitting nearby spell I was helping my older boy alongside his homework together with giving her simple tasks to consummate inwards monastic enjoin to complete this project.
Do your kids always inquire for projects? Do you lot accept whatever favorite rainbow themed projects you've tried?
