I had two new families join our group for Toddler Art: Yarn so that was definitely a great start to the program.
I started off by reading our story, Cat Knit, by Jacob Grant. This story is
about a cat who loves his ball of yarn, but his owner ends up making him a
sweater with it and his yarn isn't so fun anymore. This is a cute story that
was simple enough for the toddlers.
Our first craft was using yarn, paint, and glue. We made
some process art by first painting using pom poms attached to clothespins,
added some glue, and then added some cut up yarn. They had a lot of fun with
this and liked playing with the materials.
Our second craft was coloring a cat with yarn just like in our story. We used long pieces of yarn to glue onto the paper and this was simple enough for the toddlers to practice getting used to coloring before some playtime.
