This is an activity that I do not find useful because the little girl is almost seven years old, and does not need Matching games with spelling, but I liked it a lot, and I think that everyone who has four or five year old children can do great.
Making crafts for educational purposes at home is very satisfactory, and through this octopus We can help the children to learn to have more ease, also relating to the written number.
The original idea is in Crayon Freckles, and it is very easy to elaborate:
Necessary materials
- File folder in cardboard (which you can later paint with watercolor), patent paper or colored sheets, scissors, large sequins or large-sized mobile eyes, glue, markers, stickers with numbers or numbers cut out of cardboard, sheet size envelope , adhesive velcro, plasticizer or transparent adhesive lining.
How is it done?
A piece of paper that simulates the head of the octopus is pasted on the filing cabinet, on it we can paint the eyes with markers. At the bottom we paste the numbers (from one to eight or ten).
Under the head, and coinciding with the position of the numbers we paste small squares of velcro (the hardest part). Then we make tentacles of the same length, trimming on paper. On top of them we attach the sequins or moving eyes (small buttons also serve): in each tentacle there must be a different number of elements attached, coinciding with the numbers. To finish the tentacles we glue on the top and behind small pieces of velcro (the softest and softest part).
If you do not have plasticizer, you can 'step out' with transparent adhesive lining, and then trim the contour. Finally, you paste the envelope behind the file cabinet, it will serve to store the tentacles when you do not use them.
You have your octopus ready.
