Mess For Less, yes indeedy! |
Art: Tape a sheet down and allow the children to freely pain it with tempra paints. I get a clean shett of paper and have the children press the imprint down. It's a lovely effect. The children comment it even looks like a rainbow beehive!
Hopscotch Pop: We cut out squares and tape them down. We let the children create the hopscotch Pop rules. You will be surprised at what they come up with.
The Pop Run: Very young children need lots of bubbles to pop. Bubble wrap has always brought the most reserved toddlers truly come out of their shell!
Guaranteed fun to the last pop! Thanks Rookie Moms |
Perfect timing! I just found a stack of bubble wrap yesterday and was trying to come up with ideas to use it. I love your ideas! I'm posting this on my "Found It Friday"! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful baby! Congratulations again, Ms. Jessi! I was actually telling my husband I knew if anyone would utilize this post, you would be high on the list. It can be that great kind of messy, if it's done right!
ReplyDeleteWhen I taught a two year old classroom one of the kids FAVORITE activities was riding trikes down the hall over bubble wrap! They NEVER grew tired of it :)
ReplyDeleteI love these ideas! We did a couple fun things with bubble wrap - but I love the idea of taking it outdoors with the trikes! Maybe I could get Henry to learn to pedal that way!
