PAPER CUTOUTS

Paper cutting art and craft ideas are a good choice when it comes to getting kids and preschoolers involved in extra-curricular activities. A paper cut out art can help your child explore his creative side while developing his/her motor skills. One of the best and simplest ways to enhance your kid’s cutting skills is to get a zig zag or a wave shaped scissors and ask your kid to cut along a straight line. This will create wonderful decorative paper strips that will make your kid go creative with ideas.

TEAR AND PASTE

Tearing paper into small pieces can be fun and satisfying for them. The act of tearing encourages useful finger and co-ordination skills. In order to tear paper, your toddler will learn to hold the paper between the thumb and pointing finger of each hand. They then have to move each hand in a different direction. It's quite difficult.

Coloring and doodling

Another way to develop your child’s creative talent is to provide coloring books, Crayons, coloring marker, pencils are all great for your children to set their imagination free. This activity imbibes patience, improves bilateral coordination, develops their color sense and keeps them engaged for quite some time.

CLAY MODELING

As children explore and play with kids modeling clay, they discover how to make basic forms, develop hand-brain coordination, agility and fine motor skills. Using modeling clay gives children many opportunities to be creative and can also result in longer attention spans.

SAND TRAY

Playing in the sand can be a great opportunity for children to have unstructured play time. Whether shaped into castles, dug, dripped, sifted, or buried, sand can take many different forms, thus offering endless opportunities for fun and learning.

CIRCLE TIME

It is a special time to share finger plays, chants and rhymes, songs, play rhythm instruments, read a story, and participate in movement games and relaxation activities. Circle time provides a time for listening, developing attention span, promoting oral communication, and learning new concepts and skills.

PAPER FOLDING

Paper folding for toddlers is a fascinating and creative craft. Children get a real sense of satisfaction out of making these fun origami models. Additionally, they get to learn how to follow instructions, increase their manual dexterity, and produce decorative end products. For instance, a square sheet of coloured paper can be transformed into almost anything imaginable; that too without the use of scissors or pencils.

PAPER TEARING

Paper tearing might seem like a boring thing to do for adults, but for toddlers, it is extremely fun and also necessary for the development of their finger muscles. Tearing paper helps your child to enhance his grip on the paper with his fingers, increases his hand strength and also makes way for more complicated actions like opening and closing zippers and tearing bread into small pieces. A great activity to keep your toddler engaged and entertained is to let him tear papers into small pieces and make a collage from it.

TRACING

Tracing is a task that helps to develop fine motor skills in a huge way. Children learn how to control their grip on the pencil, learn to draw carefully along the dotted lines which can be curved or straight and thus, prepares them for preschool.

Sticking and folding

Sticking and folding small pieces of paper or using stickers can help your toddler improve his/her spatial awareness and also increase his finger strength

Hand Print
