For our toddlers, anything involving their fine motor skills is still difficult. Usually, children this age enjoy painting and pasting most. So, that’s exactly what we gave them! A pasting and painting activity that  really easy to do! My 2-year old students really had fun doing it! :)

.

What you need:


  • Small paper plates
  • Red paint
  • Glue
  • Red Japanese Paper
  • Brown Construction Paper
  • Green Art Paper


Step 1: Cut the paper plates into apple shapes.


Step 2: Cut small circles using the Japanese Paper. (You may also use a different kind of paper)


Step 3: Cut the brown paper into stalks and the green paper into leaves


Step 4: Mix the paint with the glue. Make sure not to put too much glue. 1/4 glue, 3/4 paint.



Step 5: Paint the paper plate “apple”


Step 6: Stick the small circles (As long as the paint is still wet, it will stick because to the glue mixture)



Step 7: Glue on the stalk and leaf on top.


Step 8: Have fun hanging them on your door or posting them on your wall! :)
