Day 10 of #covid19 #socialdistance.
There is no STEM in this activity, just art and craft and fun. Following our childcare’s suggestion, we did a rainbow egg.
We cut an egg-shaped hole into a piece of carton (to make the egg, I used two big cups, one bigger, put them one on top of the other, drew the shapes, joint the sides with a straight line, and then cut). Then we cut coloured paper from journals and flyers into stripes and put them, one after the other, on the egg, fixing them with sticky tape.
It can be readapted to challenge fine motor skills in older children, as show in the following pictures. It could even be suitable to some 3 year old children, it was not to mine when we tried.
Learning outcomes:
Fine motor skills
Materials: cartons, coloured papers from journals and flyers (or colour your own - this can be replaced with thread or ribbons in the activity for older children), scissors, sticky tape.
