Cloudy Day Fun
Age: 18 Months - 5 Years (younger ones need more supervision)
Time: 10 min (+ Prep)
Theme: Clouds
Books: It Looked Like Spilt Milk by Charles G Shaw, The Police Cloud by Christoph Niemann
Materials:
Crepe Paper Streamers
Glue Stick(s)
String
Adults get to use Scissors and a Hole Punch
Prep: Folding an 8-1/2 x 11 paper in half then cut out a cloud shape. Be sure to leave a little of the folded edge intact (see pic). Cut streamer pieces 6” – 12” long (3+ per kid). You can punch a hole in the top center of the cloud in advance too if you want.
Activity: Each child gets a pre-cut cloud, 3+ pieces of steamer and a glue stick. Open the cloud and glue streamers so that they will hang from the bottom of the cloud. Next glue the cloud closed like a sandwich. Add a string through the hole for hanging.
Notes/Tips: This activity can be made longer by letting the kids color faces on their clouds. We used blue streamers but a rainbow would look great too!
Oh, what a fun activity!! Thank you for sharing at Sharing Saturday!!
