A little plan for play
Open interactive activity →Add to play journal →What you need
One plain paper plate, 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: Set the plate on the paper with enough room around it to draw a head and legs.
Adult's role: Help apply glue to the plate's underside and stay nearby during drawing.
Let's make it happen
- Glue the plate to the paper as the lamb's body.
- Draw a head, ears, and legs on the paper next to the plate.
- Cover the plate with loops and spirals for wool, then add a field around the lamb.
Make it simpler: Draw one large spiral on the plate together.
Clean up: Close the glue stick and put crayons away. Let the picture dry flat.
Keep glue and paper out of mouths; supervise younger children and remove loose scraps.
