Toddler Ideas Tuesday: Toddler Crafts To Go With My Father's World First Grade

Welcome back to Toddler Idea Tuesdays! Sorry I haven't posted for a couple of weeks. We didn't have anything new to post and I couldn't find all the projects that I said I would share. And last week was our week off of school. We are back in gear and ready to share!

Have you been busy with your young children?

Last time I posted I promised that I would share finished art work from what we have been working on with My Father's World 1st grade. I wanted to have a craft to go with each unit so the younger ones could join in.

Here are some of the fun crafts we have been making. Any links will lead you to where I found the craft if it was not my own idea.

We made ant hills covered with fingerprint ants to go with our devotional story, "Ants, ants, ants."

We made Geckos to go with "Disappearing Tails." These were supposed to be covered with bubble wrap to give it some texture but the children didn't want to make them that way for some reason.

 We made symmetrical butterflies to go with, "Monarch Miracle."

For our science exploration on week 3 we took apart a rose. After our observations were done, we used the petals to make hearts for daddy. This is Harold's:

We made Hand Print Monkeys in a Tree to go with "Monkey Business."

 We made Hand Print Frogs to go with "Eggs, Polliwogs and Frogs."

We made shoe print sloths to go with "Three-Toed Patience."

The memory verse for Week 6 is "Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones," so we made these Bubble Wrap Beehives.

Now onto:
