Red Dragonfly Decalcomania
Here’s a dragonfly craft idea using paint.
Fold a sheet of drawing paper in half to make a crease.
Open it up, and on one side, imagine a dotted pattern and dab small amounts of different colors of paint.
Close the paper and press firmly so the paint spreads.
Be careful not to place the paint too close to the edge, or it will squish out at this step.
Cut the paper into dragonfly wing shapes with scissors and open it up.
Finally, attach the dragonfly’s body and eye pieces to finish.
The paint has spread beautifully to create lovely patterned wings.
Expressing autumn with paint
Let’s paint newspaper with autumn-colored paints and express ourselves to the fullest! As children reach age two, activities using paint gradually increase.
To let them fully enjoy working with paints and brushes, give each child one sheet of newspaper and a brush, and have fun with expressive painting.
Prepare paints in colors like brown, yellow, and orange, then let the children paint the newspaper however they like.
Be mindful not to interrupt their activity so they can stay focused.
The experience of painting to their heart’s content will become a precious memory for the children.
In conclusion
For autumn crafts with two-year-olds, there are many activities that let them enjoy different textures, such as handprint and footprint stamps and grape-making projects.
As you create together, each child’s individuality really shines.
Starting with the September moon-viewing, let’s enjoy craft activities using themes unique to the harvest season.
The children’s wonderful creations are sure to brighten up the classroom.
