Open interactive activity →Add to play journal →What you need
One clean unused paper cupcake liner, a full sheet of paper, a glue stick, and child-appropriate crayons
Age: 3–5 years; choose for the individual child.
Stay with the child throughout. Check the space and supplies, including anything within reach of younger siblings. Skip any activity that is unsuitable. Stop if a child puts non-food material in their mouth or becomes distressed. Use intact books, full sheets of paper, a large child-appropriate crayon and a clean, dry towel. Follow product labels; remove torn paper and keep broken crayons and caps away from children. Adult handles and stores supplies.
Set up: Flatten the liner and place it on the paper.
Adult's role: Help glue the liner flat and draw a small center point if the child wants a guide.
Let's make it happen
- Glue the flattened liner to the paper.
- Draw three lines crossing at the center to make six arms. Add little branches or dots along each arm.
- Draw more falling snow around the liner and count the six arms together.
Make it simpler: Draw one line through the center and add dots around it.
Clean up: Close the glue stick and put crayons away. Let the picture dry flat.
Use a clean unused liner. Stay nearby and keep paper and glue away from mouths.
