Supplies Needed:
- Green Craft Paper
- Patterned Paper (or Scrapbook Paper)
- Black Finger Paint
- Q-Tip
- Marker
- Glue
- Scissors
Set Up:
I traced and cut out a letter “A” for all the kids before we started. Each toddler was given a Q-tip and a small splat of washable black finger paint. Then I show the kids how to make dots with the Q-tips on their letter “A”.
They loved dipping and painting and using a Q-tip made paint management surprisingly easy even with 3 toddlers. If you don’t want to use a Q-tip you could also just use fingers and you would probably end up with bigger, more visible “Ants”.
We finished up by talking a little bit about bugs and we had a small picnic by spreading a blanket over the floor and eating apples slices together.
Fruits and Vegetables that Start with “A”
- Apple
- Apricot
- Artichoke
- Asparagus
- Avocado
