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? |

-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. -You can do red and green noodles, and include other colors as well if they're
not from Christmas-celebrating families. (Hint: think about that aspect) -I think they are the same thing; the "pens" are slimmer and easier for
2 year old hands to hold than the larger containers. I've used both,
and they seem to have the same ingredients -- the pens are easier to
hold, but the larger containers are cheaper. |
