This DIY rainbow submarine is an easy and fun craft with plenty of creative opportunity and vocabulary development. It’s brilliant for cutting, gluing and puzzle-solving skills as well as developing fine motor skills. We always love crafts that showcase how important repurposing every day items is. It’s a great way to enhance their creative thought.
It’s fun watching your little one play. It’s even better when you understand the physical, cognitive, social and emotional importance of the skills they’re developing while they amuse themselves - especially when you know that all you have to do is give them the opportunity to do what comes naturally.
Do you always have leftover party accessories? I do! I’ve been thinking of ways to use up our excess party gear when the idea for this craft occurred to me. It’s a DIY hot air balloon that can be used to decorate your little one’s room. Hot air balloons have always had a whimsical quality to me and I was excited to make this craft with my boys. They were besides themselves with anticipation!
My Big boy is obsessed with Egypt… and dinosaurs (but that’s a story for another day). At the library, he always gravitates towards books on Egypt. He loves paging through (as he can’t read yet) books on Pharaohs, mummies and pyramids. This DIY Egyptian necklace is a fun and simple craft - great for fine motor skills.
This is a great activity that combines the fun of crafting with a basic lesson in biological science. This topic can be taken further by heading outdoors and identifying living and non-living objects. Hope your little ones enjoy this fun learning activity!
