Montessori Pin Poking to Develop Concentration, Coordination, and Pincer Grip for Writing {Montessori Monday} - LivingMontessoriNow.com.
I’ve been wanting to do a literature-based art project with my 2-year-old granddaughter, Zoey.
But it requires the use of two very popular Montessori activities, which needed to be introduced. The first practical life activity was eggshell crushing. Today’s activity, pin poking, is also a favorite activity of many children in Montessori schools around the world. Montessori Pin Poking to Develop Concentration, Coordination, and Pincer Grip for Writing – Video. Butterflies. I saw this craft after the years of different butterfly punch art and i was finally ready. i had pictures of annie painting the paper but they have disappeared. the first step is to watercolor paint on paper.paint all over with pattern or with out....less water makes for brighter colored paint.and let it dry. then punch out as many butterflies as you can. i bought this martha stewart butterfly punch at joann's.they are not cheap but it was on sale and they do have 40% off coupons quite often.and THAT punch is really cool.VERY easy to use!

We’ve put the two materials together again today for this paper plate yarn weaving activity, and once more the results are beautiful!

At this time of year we love filling our house with light.
Our Advent candles & Christmas tree lights are filling the house with a welcoming glow & brightening up those dark evenings. To add a special glow to our house Minnie created a beautiful Nativity Lantern, & it's been lovely to have as a centrepiece on the table for meal times. This upcycled craft is simple to create, all you need is a clean jam jar or coffee jar, some white greaseproof paper (or tracing paper), 2 strips of thin card (your choice of colour), some double sided tape, & felt-tip pens. We started by measuring a section of greaseproof paper around our jam jar, making sure it was slightly taller than the jar.

Know what I love to do on days when it’s too cold or wet to go outside? Build stuff!! This fun geodesic dome was built using rolled up newspaper to form rods — SO frugal! I basically followed the tutorial here, but made one important adjustment.
Rather than using staples at the joints, I punched holes with a hole puncher on each end of the newspaper rod, then threaded a pipe cleaner through the holes. I twisted the pipe cleaner, which kept everything in place AND made our newspaper rods re-usable!! The girls loved building, taking things apart, and then re-building different structures all afternoon…right up until dinner time! Mona Lisa Template. Kids Crafts- Plaster Casting with Sand. Summer is the time for fun kids crafts, and plaster casting with sand is a as easy as making a sand castle!
A fun craft tutorial to keep both you and the kids busy on a sunny day. Years ago, I started collecting suns for my kitchen. I love Native American art, and they often incorporate the sun in what they do. So, I would say my kitchen has a Native American look. In fact, I’ve collected so many suns in the forms of wall art and decorations, that my husband actually asked me to stop. I’ve been playing around with the idea of creating my own molds and it occurred to me that one of the most versatile ways of creating a mold would be to use sand. Secret LETTERS. How to Finger Knitting. So… my kids see me knitting and crocheting on a semi regular basis and are soooo keen to learn. Red Ted is 6yrs old and Pip Squeak is 4yrs old.

We first had a go at blow painting a long time ago, when my girls were still small, my big boy just a baby, and the baby not even born yet! When my kids were little, art was all about the process and not so much about the product, and blow painting was all about learning to blow not suck, and moving the paint around on the paper. Now that they are getting older, they all love using art to represent ideas and create things. So adding one extra item to this blow painting activity, and suggesting that the blown paint looked like crazy hair, was all the prompt my kids needed to make crazy blow painting monsters!
