I had a couple new faces for this month's Toddler Art and
they made great additions to the group. We read a board book Grinch story for
our theme and then we made two Grinch inspired crafts.
In I Am Max by Astrid Holm, the book explains the Grinch and
his dog Max in Dr. Seuss rhyming fashion. The toddlers listened very well to
the book and enjoyed the familiar illustrations.
For our first craft, we just had to make a simple Grinch
face. I used light green paper plates and cut-out pieces. The kids got their
motor skills practice in with the help of a parent.
Our last craft was well-appreciated by parents. The toddlers
used tissue paper and a heart to make the Grinch's big heart. The toddlers were
able to do this craft practically on their own and all of them turned out cute.
I try to find a balance of a cute craft and toddler ability
for this program and it's always a plus when I come across a number of craft
ideas that fit this criteria.
Merry Grinchmas!
