Yesterday I posted my idea for dressing up turkeys. I had narrowed the clipart choice down to two of my favorites. Here is my favorite. He is printed on an 11" x 17" size. I found out they make cardstock in those sizes. My hubby uses them for brochures at his office. He generously printed them out for me. We made a writing sheet for the back. Here are the sixteen turkeys in their costumes. I sent this to school for each of the first grade teachers to show to their class. They will put it on the Smartboard for kids to choose. Since I am printing the costumes on 11" x 17" printer paper, I only need to run off the total number of each turkey that is chosen. I deleted all of the color for the 16 costumes, so that the kids could color the costumes, cut them out, then paste them on their cardstock turkeys. I am giving you all 16 below. Print them out in the 11 x17" size portrait. Happy Thanksgiving. Gobble, Gobble.
I have been overwhelmed and awed by the response to my post – 10 things to do with a 2 year old at home...... so I decided to do a second instalment before Boo hits the big 3. I hope you find some ideas here to entertain your busy 2 year old... even if it only last a few minutes!!! 1. Sorting pom poms Moving pom poms or small objects from container to container is very popular in our house. Adding a spoon or a scoop adds an extra challenge. 2. Grow something edible We watch it grow, check for interesting bugs that often get there first and finally pick it and eat it (if bug free). You only need a tiny bit of room to get growing! 3. Thread with pipe-cleaners Long pipe-cleaners are perfect for little fingers to thread through holes punched in paper card. My 2 year old also likes to use the hole puncher to make holey paper. 4. Play hat shop Lay out every hat in the house. Set up a cash register... use a toy one or make your own. Our homemade cash register is an egg carton with slots cut into the lid to feed coins into. I always add a few paper bags so that Boo can package up the sold bags. 5. Make a small world on a tray We use a playdough base and then add whatever elements are popular on the day. Our latest small world (below) is a fairy inspired world with shells, rocks, fairy figurines, unicorns, sticks and a light sprinkle of glitter. 6. Go exploring with homemade binoculars These binoculars are easy to make and great to take on an adventure. Cover the ends of two cardboard rolls with cellophane and tape them together. You can also add a string so they can be easily carried. 7. Make some sponge decorations This is always popular in our house. I cut shapes from cheap soft sponges. Boo paints the sponge shapes with pva glue and dips them in glitter. Sometimes we turn the glittery sponges into puppets by gluing on a wooden skewer. 8. Do some print making This is very simple print making. My trusty plastic tray with a raised edge is perfect for this sort of art activity.... I place a couple of dollops of watercolour paint on the tray, add some water and then let Boo mix it all together. Lay a sheet of paper over the paint and lift it off to see your creation. It is all about the reveal!!! 9. Make a bead oyster Tape two paper plates together. Add a pool of pva glue inside the paper plates and let your little one add the treasure. We use beads and buttons, but of course these are a choking hazard so I have to supervise very carefully. If you are worried, substitute beads for small pieces of paper. Once the glue is dry, you can close them up so that the oyster's treasure is hidden. 10. Try a little science We have done this many times and it is always fun. Add bicarbonate of soda to a container/jar containing a mix of white vingear and food colouring. Stir and watch it fizz..... supervision is needed of course. You can play around with varying quantities to see the reactions. I would love to hear your ideas for keeping 2 year olds happy and entertained. It can be a tough job sometimes! And now for some useful links: A newly discovered blog for me that has tonnes of ideas for play is Fun at home with kids. I particularly like this water transfer challenge post.
