Need:
Black paper or black foam sheet
Yellow tissue paper or construction paper
Pipe cleaners
Waxed paper
Wiggly eyes

Cut a bumble bee shape out of black construction paper or a foam sheet, and strips out of yellow paper. Let children glue the strips onto the bee, add pipe cleaners for antennas, waxed paper for wings, and wiggly eyes.

Need:
White or Yellow Construction Paper
Black Paint
(2) Wiggle Eyes

Paint the child’s palm and four fingers with black paint. Press the hand on the sheet of construction paper so the palms overlap, extending the fingers in opposite directions. The palm print in the middle is the spiders body and the fingers are the legs. Glue on wiggle eyes and you’re done!

What you will need:
pencil, tissue paper, and regular paper.

Start off by drawing or tracing a simple recognizable shape or object onto a sheet of tissue paper. We’ll start off with drawing a star.

Transfer this image onto the regular paper by laying the tissue paper on top of the regular paper and pressing dots along the shape’s outline at regular intervals.

Mark the dots with a sequence of letters beginning with the letter A, then B, then C and so forth.

Have the child connect the dots to find out what the shape is by following the alphabet.

Repeat again using a different shape.

What you will need:
marker, 2 sheets of poster board, scissors, a sheet of regular paper, ruler, and crayons.

Use a ruler to draw lines to divide one sheet of poster board into 30 squares.

Write the letter “Q” and the word “quilt” onto your regular sheet of paper. Explain to the child that a quilt is normally made with cloth. If you have a picture of a quilt or a real quilt available, show this to the child so they can see. Tell the child that quilts are creating with interesting patterns sewn together.

Explain to the child that they will be making alphabet patterns on paper that can be used to represent a cloth quilt.

On another piece of poster board, draw and cut out a pattern for each letter of the alphabet. Be sure the size will fit inside the quilt squares. Do 4 letters twice since you will have 30 squares and there are only 26 letters to the alphabet.

Have the child trace the letter patterns within the quilt squares and then color them. You can do a few each day if you’d like.
