This is an adorable craft for toddlers, Preschoolers, Kindergarteners, and even slightly older children. My friend Erin has a son who goes to Little Monster’s Home Daycare and they made this cute craft today. The bodies of the elephant and lion are created with the child’s hand prints, and they couldn’t come out any cuter. Below you will find the step by step tutorial for making these adorable handprint pictures.

How to Make Handprint Elephants and Lions for Preschoolers

Crafts Materials Needed:

Paint

Markers

How to Make the Handprint Lion

Lion: Step 1

Paint the child’s hand yellow and then push the child’s hand down onto the paper. Let the handprint dry thoroughly.

Lion: Step 2

After the handprint is completely dry, you can start drawing the features of the lion.  Take out an orange marker and draw curly Qs all around the thumb print for the lion’s hair. Draw 2 black dots for eyes. And with a yellow marker, draw a rectangle tail.

Lion: Step 3

With the orange marker, draw a circle on the tail. Draw black rectangles on the feet. And draw a black dot for a nose and a letter ‘w’ mouth.

Lion: Step 4

Take a green marker and scribble grass below each of the feet. There you have it…an adorable handprint lion.

How to Make the Handprint Elephant

Elephant: Step 1

Paint the child’s hand gray and then push the child’s hand down onto the paper. Let the handprint dry thoroughly.

Elephant: Step 2

When you are sure that the handprint is dry, you can then start drawing the elephant’s features. With a grey marker, draw a gray rectangle for the tail. With a black marker, draw 3 lines on the thumb. Draw a letter ‘W’ on the center of the handprint.

Elephant: Step 3

Draw rectangles on the bottom of the 4 bottom fingers.  Draw a dot for an eye.

Elephant: Step 4

With a green marker, scribble grass at the bottom of all the feet. And there you have it, an adorable handprint elephant.

My youngest daughter is in Kindergarten and she is learning how to read. Her teacher sends home lists of sight words that she has to learn and although we use flash cards to help her learn them, using Legos / Duplo Blocks  sounds a lot more fun to her. I saw someone else online use Legos to make sight words fun and I just loved the idea. Legos are also great for alphabet letters. The child can snap the Legos together to form and sound out words.

My daughter was getting bored with playing with these ‘little kid’ blocks as she now only wants to play with the little Lego blocks that older kids use. So this is a great way to recycle these Duplo / Lego blocks.

Crafts Materials Needed

Legos / Duplo Blocks

Labels (These are the ones I used   … Avery Removable Rectangular Labels, 0.5 x 0.75 Inches, White, Pack of 525  -6737  )

Step 1

If you want to use the Legos to practice sight words and making sentences, then write sight words on the labels. If you want your child to practice creating words and sounding out letter combinations, then write alphabet letters on labels. I repeated consonants a few times and I repeated vowels many times.

Step 2

I used the 4 peg Duplo squares for the Alphabet letter blocks. I put a letter on each side, so then the child can spin the blocks to make different words. My child loved forming words with the letters. I used blank squares to for spaces.

Step 3

Then I put sight words on bigger Duplo blocks. They would fit on the square blocks but I didn’t have any more left. I put a label on 2 sides of the blocks, but you can definitely put them on all 4 sides if you want to. I also added other words that my child knows. I also made several blocks with words such as ‘I’, ‘and’, ‘my’, ‘too’, and ‘the’. I also added labels for people and animals that she knows so that she can talk about specific people. She LOVES playing with these blocks now.

Today I will show you how to make a really cool Memory game that is great for any age child, but especially good for preschoolers and Kindergarteners who are still working on Alphabet Letters recognition. If you don’t have enough Milk Jug caps, you could also use coins, checkers, cardboard, or whatever else you have lying around the house.

DON’T USE WATER BOTTLE CAPS – USE LARGE MILK CAPS TO ENSURE THE CHILD WON’T BE ABLE TO SWALLOW THEM! EITHER WAY, WATCH THE CHILD TO MAKE SURE THEY DON’T INGEST THE CAPS!

Making a Memory Game from Bottle Caps with Printables and Instructions for Kids

Crafts Materials Needed

– 52  Milk Bottle Caps

– Glue

– Printer and Paper

– Scissors

Step 1 : Print Out the Bottle Cap Letters

Pick the Letters that you want below (choose from color or black and white, as well as milk jug bottle caps or water bottle caps). Print out the templates twice as you are going to be playing a matching game in which you need 2 of every letter.

Click on Above Image for BLACK AND WHITE WATER BOTTLE CAPS

Click on Above Image for COLORIZED WATER BOTTLE CAPS

Click on Above Image for BLACK AND WHITE MILK BOTTLE CAPS

Click on Above Image for BLACK AND WHITE MILK BOTTLE CAPS Part 2

Click on Above Image for COLORIZED MILK BOTTLE CAPS

Click on Above Image for COLORIZED MILK BOTTLE CAPS Part 2

Step 2 : Attaching Letters to Bottle Caps

To attach the letters to the milk jug caps, either glue them to the top or simple insert them inside the cap (which depending on the size of the cap, might not even need glue. If you are using coins…simply tape the letters to the coins.

How to Play Alphabet Memory Game

(1) Make sure that all the caps are messed up so that they aren’t in order.

(2)  Turn all of the caps over so you cannot see the letters anymore.

(3) Place them in neat rows.

(4) A player turns over 2 caps.

….. If there is a match, they put those caps in their own pile and then gets to take another turn.

….. If there is NOT a match, the player then turns the caps back over ( in the same spot that they found them) .   The next player then gets to take a turn.

(5) The game is over when all of the matches are found. The player with the most caps wins the game.

Make Spring Handprints Lambs for Easter or Spring : Preschoolers and Kids Craft

One thing that I have always loved as a parent is handprints.  There have been days where I have winced at having to wash them from the walls, partly because they are there and partly because I am taking them off, but I always seem to lovingly place my own hand over top of them as though I might remember them through touch.  It has been this way ever since my children were babies.  The first thing I did was count all the little fingers on their small hands and since that day I have continued to count them over and over again.  Of course, I need to do it discreetly now so I’m not “bothering” my children.

Since I am so in love with little handprints, I enjoy doing crafts where I can capture my children’s handprints once again for posterity reason. This craft, handprint lamb, is a great way to capture a handprint but it also adds a touch of spring to your crafts and gives your child a new way to use his hands.

Gather all the materials you need:

• Brown, White or Black Construction Paper (Or if you want to create a colorful lamb, use any brightly colored construction paper.)
• Black Marker
• Cotton Balls
• Your Child’s Hand
• White Glue

Step 1

1.  Have your child place his hand on the construction paper and either help him or have him trace it out onto the paper.

Step 2

2.  Cut out the handprint.  For older children, this is an excellent activity to build up their cutting skills.

Step 3

3.  Flip the hand over so the fingers are facing down.  The fingers are the legs of the lamb and the thumb is the head so make sure that the hand is spread out when you do trace it.

Step 4

4.  Cover the palm of the hand, and part of the legs with white glue.

Step 5

5.  Pull the cotton ball so it becomes billowy, like soft wool or a fluffy cloud.

Step 6

6.  Place it onto the white glue so it covers the lamb’s “body.” Make sure to leave the legs and head uncovered.

Step 7

7.  Draw little feet onto the bottom of the fingers with the black marker.

Step 8

8.  Draw a face onto the head (the thumb) of your lamb with the black marker.

Once your lamb is finished, you can either hang it up as is, or you can paste it to a sheet of construction paper and then add green for grass, white construction paper (or cotton balls) for clouds and anything else that you would like to decorate it with.

Easter Bunny Rabbit Treat Cups Crafts Activity Ideas for Kids

Every once in a while, I come up with this wonderful little idea that I just need to do as a craft and I enjoy sharing it.  While I would love to say that this little craft is one that I thought up myself, I can’t.  In actuality, I discovered this little craft only this week when my four year old came home from his kindergarten class.  He happily hopped up to me and showed me this cute little bunny that his class had made for Easter and I was so delighted by the end result that I just had to share it with many other parents and crafters out there.

I would like to say a big thank you to his kindergarten teacher before I do start on the craft itself.  I would also like to mention that this craft is great for children of all ages.  At home, I did this craft with a 4 year old and an 8 year old and both were delighted with both the process and the end product.  It is very easy to do and can make a beautiful little gift or grab bag for the Easter season.

Bunny Rabbit Cups: How to Make these Delightful Little Bunny Cups with only a Few Supplies

Gather all the materials you need:

• Markers (I used red, purple and black but you can use anything you want)
• White Glue
• Cotton Balls
• Styrofoam Cup
• Easter Grass (I used green but feel free to use any color)
• Construction Paper, white and pink
• Stapler
• Scissors

1.  Take a Styrofoam cup and carefully draw the eyes of the bunny around the mid-range of the cup.  You can use any shape you want so don’t feel the need to use my cup design.  Also, allow your child to draw the face she wants or simply let her scribble on it if she would like.  For my cup, I used black for the outline and purple for the iris.

2.  Next, draw the nose slightly under the eyes and in the middle of the “face.”  I used red for my nose.

3.  Finally draw the mouth and teeth (if your bunny has teeth) and add any other embellishments to the face.  My oldest drew drool coming out of the mouth (see center cup in top picture).  Once the face is drawn, set it aside to work on the ears.

4.  Draw out a set of bunny ears on the white construction paper.  These should be fairly large but still manage to fit inside the cup.

5.  Repeat the process on the pink construction paper but make these ears slightly smaller since they will be the inside of the bunny ears.  When I was creating this craft with my kids, they didn’t want the white ears so if you find your children don’t either, just let them create on their own terms.  There is no need for every bunny cup to look the same.

6.  Cut out the ears.

7.  Glue the pink bunny ears into the center of the white bunny ears.  Make sure the bottoms of the ears match up when glueing.

8.  Once the ears are glued together, secure them to the inside of the cup with the stapler.  You will want to put them on the side that is furthest from the face so the staples are on the back of the bunny and not in the middle of his forehead.

9.  This is optional, but if you want the folded ear finished look, crease one of the ears about a quarter of the way down.

10.  Take a small cotton ball and glue it into place below the staples on the back of the cup.

11.  Fill the cup with Easter grass and add a few eggs.

And that is all it takes to create one very cute little Easter Bunny cup.
