Toddler Art: At the Beach


This was a good Toddler Art program with a smaller, cozier crowd. The group listened to the story, Sea, Sand, Me! by Patricia Hubbell  very well and I explained our two crafts.

Our first craft was painting our own sand pail made out of card stock, construction paper, and yarn. Moms were able to write their children's names on the pail with marker and they had a choice of finger painting or using a paint brush.

Our second craft was making our own beach scene using construction paper, sand paper, and tissue paper. We used construction paper for our backdrop and our die-cut suns, sand paper for our sand castles that I cut out, and light blue tissue paper for our water. I told moms to make sure that their child feels the sand paper and the difference between that and the other paper.

Both crafts provided some sort of sensory experience and everyone seemed to have enjoyed the sand paper element in the one craft.
