Paper Craft: Umbrella

From:  No Time for Flashcards

Mavi is 25 months. 

This is a delayed post.  We did this activity last September 27, 2010.

Everytime I mention the letter U to Mavi, he would always shout “umbrella!” so this what we did for our letter U craft.

1.  Materials:  Cookie linens, construction paper, straw or pipe cleaners, scissor, glue and colored pens/crayons (in our case we used watercolors).

2.  We started out by painting the cookie linens and the white paper background.  Then as I made him do the coloring, I cut out the straws to be the handle of our umbrella. 

3.  When he’s done, he applied glue on the cookie linens.  I have to say that he already knows how to do this!! After weeks of practicing he finally knows how to apply glue without me helping him squeeze the tube! Bravo!     

 

4.  I placed the cookie linens on the background, and showed how to put the straw on the linens to form an umbrella.  When he finally figured out what to do, and I made him do the rest.

5.  Here’s our craft for the week of letter u, umbrella!!! Just in time for the rainy season ey?
