Preschool Picasso: Story Characters

This was such a fun, sweet group and I was surprised on how many of the kids knew the story. I wanted to use a story character the kids knew, so I was happy to hear this. 

We read The Gruffalo, which was so fun to read out loud, and then I explained our two crafts. First, the group made Gruffalo using brown paint on a paper plate and adding his features after the paint was dry.

The second craft was making Mouse using different sized circle shapes. 

Both these crafts worked out great because they went along with the story, incorporated paint, and weren't too hard. The group took their time with their crafts and I promoted some holiday programs that were coming up.
