Pizza Party – Toddler Art Project
Age: 18 Months - 5 Years (younger
ones need more supervision)
Time: 10 min (+ Prep)
Theme: Pizza
Books: Pizza at Sally’s by Monica
Wellington, Pete’s a Pizza by William Steig
Materials:
Brown Construction paper (heavy
weight works best)Assorted scraps and colors of construction paper & tissue paper
Yarn scraps, fabric scraps, foam bits, packing peanuts, sequins, buttons, etc
Small paper plates (optional - for ‘serving’)
Glue
Adults (& some kids) get to use Scissors
Prep: Cut pizza crusts from brown
construction paper. I cut three triangular slices per sheet, but you can also
make Sicilian style rectangles, or personal pan circles. Prepare toppings such
as red and orange tissue scrap sauce, yarn cheese, green pepper paper slices, packing
peanut sausage, etc.
Activity: Each child gets a ‘crust’, glue, a paper plate and an assortment of toppings. Make a custom slice! You can suggest that sauce and cheese be the first two toppings, but there is no wrong way to top a pizza. Serve paper pizza on paper plates.
Notes/Tips: You can use a hole punch
to ‘pit’ black olive circles and onion rings shape themselves when card stock
is cut in a thin spiral. When choosing toppings avoid potential choking hazards such as buttons for little ones. This activity can be made longer by making it a pizza
shop game where children make and serve slices to order.
This is a fab idea! I am going to try this with my son!

DeleteGlad to know about this Toddler Art project as it’s a creative activity for kids. I am planning to enroll my kid in best local kindergarten and have heard about a local Phoenix kindergarten quite popular. Will visit there to check their services.
