Crafts
Walking Stick
You will need:
-A Small Stick
-Pipe Cleaner
-Googly Eyes
I cut the stick so that one end has a knot in the wood to use for a head. Wrap the pipe cleaners around the stick one at a time. Repeat with two more pipe cleaners. Next have the kids bend the pipe cleaners to make knees and feet. Many preschoolers may find this difficult to bend the pipe cleaner the correct way, so be prepared with your own stick to give a demonstration.
Last add googly eyes to the knot (or one end of the stick) and you have a walking stick.
Spider Web
You will need:
-Paper plate
-White Yarn
-Scissors
-Hole Puncher
This craft will need to be prepared for the children.
Cut the center out of the paper plate then around the inside of the circle punch holes with the hole puncher, the more holes you punch, the more intricate the spider web and the longer it will take to finish. Then cut long pieces of yarn. Do not make it longer then you think that children will be able to handle.
Have the children pull the yarn through the holes in any way they want to make a spider web.
Spider
You will need:
-Black Pom Pom (I used 1½ inch size)
-4 Black Pipe Cleaners 4½ inches long
-Glue
-Googly eyes
Twist the pipe cleaners together in the middle. Once should suffice. Next glue the pom pom on the pipe cleaner where you twisted them together. We pinched them together and slowly count to ten. This step helps reduce frustration and has helped my son to enjoy crafts.
Finally add the googly eyes to the top of the pom pom and set aside and alow to dry.
Snacks:
Preschoolers can make both of these snacks
Ants on a Log (Beware of allergies!!)
You will need:
-Celery
-Peanut butter
-Raisins
Peal the strings off the celery and cut the leaves off then spread the peanut butter on the celery and add raisins.
Worms in Dirt
You will need:
-Chocolate pudding about 1 cup per child
-Gram cracker crumbs 1/4cup per child
-Gummy Worms
Mix the chocolate pudding, the gram cracker crumbs and the gummy worms together. Grab a spoon and enjoy!
