A little plan for play
Open interactive activity →Add to play journal →What you need
A full sheet of paper, a large child-appropriate crayon, and adult scissors.
Age: 3–5 years; choose for the individual child.
Let's make it happen
- Fold the sheet in half, then in half again. Draw a few small shapes along the folded edges.
- Adult cuts out the marked shapes while leaving enough folded edges joined to keep the paper in one piece.
- Open the sheet together and find the repeated shapes. Add colors or a snowy scene around the design.
Adult handles scissors, removes scraps promptly, and stays beside the child throughout.
