We have been doing more Christmas themed tasks. I have been trying to introduce some Christmas symbols to Adeline as we complete each activity. For this task we used a simple soda bottle cut off and put our bells "in". Adeline had fun ringing the bells too.
Next, we worked on a stringing project. I had found these gingerbread men at the Dollar Tree so I cut a little slit and cut out some circles to serve as ornaments. I added a button to a ribbon and we strung gingerbread men and ornaments. Stringing beads is a little hard for Adeline yet so I thought this would be a little simpler. This project could be used with patterning as well.
i love these ideas! thankyou so much for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteThese are great ideas! I am trying to plan at least one more week of Christmas-themed trays for my little boy and I am going to keep these in mind, depending on what I can find at our local dollar stores.
ReplyDeleteAdeline is such a pretty name and she looks adorable.

Thanks for the wonderful fine motor skill ideas! My son started Kindergarten this year and we discovered that he was a little weak in this area and needs to do extra activities at home. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun ideas! I love the simplicity of them =-) Hope you have a great week & we'll see you next week at TGIF =-)
