Making a refreshing-looking swim ring

[For Nursery Teachers] 3 Summer Wall Decoration Ideas — Great for Infants and Toddlers, Perfect for Finger Play ♪ Montessori-Inspired

Let’s make a refreshing craft of animals playing with swim rings using paper plates.

Before you begin, cut out the center of the paper plate.

For 3-year-olds, let them freely draw on the ring-shaped paper plate.

Choose materials like crayons or paint according to your class atmosphere.

It also looks cute if you add small squares cut from construction paper with a single snip.

Once the paper plate is decorated, make the motif that goes inside.

Try different methods, such as pre-cutting construction paper and having the 3-year-olds draw the faces or glue on the parts.

Your adorable craft of animals swimming with float rings is complete!

♪ Original Song – Hoiku Kyujin Labo – Hoiku Kyujin Labo | Nursery Teacher Job Changes and Helpful Information

Let’s make ice cream using sponge stamps! First, take a sheet of drawing paper and dab the paint-covered stamp to create patterns.

You can use any colors you like.

Once the paint is dry, cut the paper into the shape of ice cream.

Cut brown construction paper into a cone shape, draw the cone pattern, and paste it onto a backing sheet.

Then stick the stamped ice cream on top of the cone, add patterns in the empty spaces with crayons, and you’re done! You can make several scoops and stack them to create two- or three-scoop ice cream, too.
