If I Had a Little Boat read aloud by Ms. Julia (See Video Below)
Materials:
Activity (Procedure):
1) Wrap a piece of tinfoil around your piece of cardboard. Tape the tinfoil (on the back side of the cardboard) into place.
2) Squeeze paint onto the foil and have your child(ren) swirl the paint around with a q-tip. Once finished painting, shake glitter onto the paint at this point.
3) Once the paint is dried place ocean stickers onto your ocean scene.
4) Glue your boat to your ocean scene or place it on top so you can move it around your ocean.
Activity Wrap Up:
Lay project overnight to dry before adding stickers or gluing anything to it.
How do I know what my child is learning? (Assessment)
Ask open ended questions. Where will your boat sail too? What will it find when it gets there? What kind of animals live in the ocean?
How can you extend this activity? (Modifications)
You can use a paint brush or cotton balls.
Helpful Hints: (Pitfalls & Solutions)
If your child decided to use their hands to finger paint it the oils from their hands may cause the paint to peel off of the tinfoil.
Be careful not to rip the tin foil.
