This is a simple activity that can be used in many different ways, over and over again!
Using cut-out foam shapes, a paintbrush and some water, your child can create scene after scene using a very fun canvas... glass!
Cut out some basic shapes from thin foam
Use a paint brush dipped in water to stick the foam shapes to the window
Arrange and rearrange the shapes to make different scenes and tell a story
Handy tips:
- To simplify this activity, simply provide the shapes, brush and water and let your child stick and move them on the glass
- To extend this activity, let your child help with the cutting of the shapes. Let them decide which shapes they need. Encourage them to make other objects using simple shapes ie. a square and a triangle to make a house
- Encourage your child to tell you a story using the shapes. Use this chance to talk about storytelling. "How does the story start, end?" etc "What is going to happen?"
- Let your child paint the foam shapes as an extension on this activity
Happy playing,
Debs :)
