Thanksgiving- a time to be with family and friends, watch
parades, and football!!
What to do with the children while waiting to eat??
My suggestion is to give them cut up vegetables to print! If
there is a teenager around who could help, that would be even more fun!
The supplies needed:
A variety of cut up vegetables and fruit
9”x12” construction paper (an easy find at dollar stores or
Walmart or Kmart in the kids craft sections)
Crayola kids washable tempera paint and Crayola plastic
smocks (I found mine at Kmart)
1 styrofoam or paper plate
for each color of paint (I used the smaller size)
1 sponge for each paper plate
Directions:
Cover the work area.
Place one sponge on each plate and cover with paint. Sponges
should be soaked in paint to act like an ink pad.
Place one cut up fruit or vegetable on each plate.
Give the children a sheet of paper. Tell the children to
stamp the fruit or vegetable on the sponge first and then on the paper. They
can stamp the fruit or vegetable several times or once to make a pattern.
Have them take turns stamping with each color. The fruit or
vegetables stamping can be overlapped and one on top of the other.
When dry the art work can be embellished with crayons by
coloring in the blank spaces.
Have a great Thanksgiving with your family! Mizz Mac
