When the Spring Break weather decides not to cooperate, we're here to help. Our program team has reviewed our hundreds of ideas and are suggesting these activities to keep your kids engaged and entertained until things dry up outside.
Using the crepe paper/streamers and non stick tape, tape strips across a hallway in your home, zig zag, back and forth down the length of the hallway.
Have your children work through the maze by not touching any of the streamers. If they touch one or one falls off the wall, they will need to redo the maze.
Step 1: By dipping cardboard tube into the black paint, create circles on the paper. Overlapping is encouraged to create more patterns to fill in. Let set for a few minutes.
Step 2: Using the coloured paints, start to fill in the shapes that have been created by the overlapped circle patterns.
Step 3: Since the pattern has been created with the black circles, they can be coloured in with crayons or coloured pencils for older children.
Photo frame: Pick up a wooden frame from craft or dollar store and either paint a base colour and then glue the buttons on top or just glue buttons to the wood.
Letter art: Pick up canvas from craft or dollar store and either paint a base coat or glue onto the white surface. Help your child by drawing the letter of their name on the canvas and then they can build out their own letter button art.
Glass Jar: an empty jar that you were about to recycle can be up-cycled to a new pencil holder for your child's desk. Glue buttons directly to the glass.
