I'm hosting a party for a bunch of 2-year-olds (and their moms)
a week or two before Christmas. I'd like to give the kids an
opportunity to make some tree ornaments or other decorations.
Suggestions? Salt dough that the kids can paint and bake?
Chains made of colored paper? What else? |

-I helped my older kids' school with a salt dough project, and
it took many hours for the dough to dry sufficiently in the
oven before it could be painted. Thicker pieces dried overnight (out of the oven) as well, and still weren't fully dry. So....
that may not be the best 2yo party project. -we made glitter pinecones at the Richie McFarland Center (early
intervention, under 3s) last year. you just need glue,
pinecones, a box, string & glitter. tie a string to each
pinecone. let the kids drizzle glue on the cone, put cone in box & sprinkle glitter on the glue. if the glue isn't dry before
they go home, place the cone in a ziplock snack size bag.
IME 2.5 year olds like gluesticks, so maybe some precut shapes (trees, stars, snowflakes) that they can stick to folded
construction paper to make cards. my 3 year old *loves* paper
punch shapes to glue down or toss like confetti. most of my
punches are leaf shapes or halloween, but there are snowflakes,
snowmen, angels, etc. available. -Something with glitter. Although this means you will be vacuuming up
glitter for months afterwards.
They could glitter up little styrofoam balls or other shapes - or
cut out something from cardboard and glue glitter on them. |
