Materials

different colored strips of either paper or crepe paper a paper plate cut in half glue

Steps:

scissors cotton balls string or ribbon

Glue the cotton balls to the paper plate. Talk with your child about how the cotton balls and glue feel. Model describing words such as soft and sticky. Then cut strips of paper or crepe paper and glue to the back of the plate Talk to your child about the different colors, model some action words such as “cut,” “rip,” “glue,” “put on,” and how some strips are wide and some are skinny. Encourage your child to glue them on and to decide what colors are glued on next

Last, cut or punch a hold in each corner of the plate and add a ribbon, yarn, or string so you can hang up your masterpiece When your child notices their artwork, use that as a time to remember making it together and model those concepts all over again!
