Craft: Handprint Butterfly
This week's craft was based on the picture to the left. Each child was given a sheet of paper with a butterfly body on it. They then traced their hands on either side of the body. They could then color in the handprints and glue on sparkles.
Literacy Extensions:
- See how many activities your child can come up with that they need to use their hands for (ex. pointing, writing, etc.)
- Have your child trace his/her handprint onto several pieces of paper. See how many different animals they can make out of their handprints.
Notes:
Story time was only held on Monday this week due to the library being closed for Veteran's Day.
The books all went over pretty good this week. I probably would not do Wash Your Hands! again though. While the children were engrossed by the story, there were some that were grossed out by the idea of small crocodile-like germs on their hands.
