Crafts

1. Colour Balloons. Families create Colour Balloons from construction paper and foam. They can make the balloons any size or shape.
   
   
2. Shape train. Have pre-cut rectangles, squares, and circles. Have families pick one of each (to use as a template at home). Each family should return with a train or other object. They can colour the shapes too if the paper used is white.
   
   
3. Musical Instrument. Have families make instruments out of different objects. For example, they can use a medicine bottle, put rice or pasta in it, cover it with coloured paper and stickers and they have a shaker. Another idea would be to put 2 paper plates together, including different items inside, decorating the outside and another type of shaker has been created.
   
   
4. Colour Wheel. Have families create their own colour wheel by providing them with a sheet of white paper. Encourage them to find different coloured objects (out of magazines, flyers, newspapers, etc.) and glue them on the white piece of paper. Have them write the corresponding colour below.
