A little plan for play
Open interactive activity →Add to play journal →What you need
Paper and large 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: Sit together with paper on a flat surface.
Adult's role: Show a slow spiral if useful and accept any marks as part of the flower.
Let's make it happen
- Draw a small spiral or circle for the center of a rose.
- Add curved petal lines around the center, then draw a stem and leaves.
- Color the rose and add another flower or a background if you like.
Make it simpler: Draw a circle for the center instead of a spiral.
Clean up: Put away the paper and crayons.
Adult stays beside the child.
