Craft and cookery ideas for toddlers

[jezjoy]

Sharing a fun and simple "no bake" cookery project I did with my toddler over Christmas last year. Good opportunity for little ones to practice their fine motor skills. I melted 2 large bars of chocolate (1 milk and 1 70% cocoa dark chocolate), mixed them with a bowl of plain cereal and got my toddler to add the sprinkles. We packed them into individual bags and she brought them to school for her teachers and classmates.

Hot air Balloon craft
A fun way to introduce children to different modes of transport. Little one made her own hot air balloon by pasting any material they fancy on a paper plate to decorate the balloon and painting a paper cup as the basket. Simply punch holes and connect the two using twine/ribbons or whatever you can get your hands on.

Learning about their little hands as part of a broader theme on their body. The little one created little hand prints using paint and incoprporated them into a craft. Also a good opportunity for them to experiment with colors.

As part of familiarisation with fruits, the little was introduced to oranges- their distinct properties as well as the fact that they come in various sizes. the little one was encouraged to paint in circular motion to create the oranges. Next, she pasted pre-cut construction paper to create her very own orange tree.
