les petites-bêtes - week 2 - paper plate snails

Our second week on our mini beast topic we made paper plate snails.  A really simple yet effective craft that even the younger ones in our group could get involved in.

To make your own you will need:

A paper plate

Craft foam

Collage materials

A pipe cleaner

Glue

Glitter glue (optional)

First let your little one cut or rip up collage materials and stick them onto the paper plate shell.

Cut out a snail body from the craft foam and glue the paper plate shell onto it.

Add an eye and a smile and some pipe cleaner horns.

If you have glitter glue you can add a spiral onto the shell.

Here are ours:

les petites-bêtes week 1 - glitter bugs

 

After the Easter holidays we started our new topic "les petites-bêtes" (mini beasts).

The songs and rhymes that we are looking at are l'araignée gipsy (incey wincey spider), petit escargot, Monsieur l'escargot, 5 petits vers de terre and la petite chenille.

For our first craft I purchased some spider (araignée) and snail (escargot) pictures with peelable sections and lots of coloured glitter for our little ones to sprinkle on to create their own unique picture. They turned out really great and the children loved using the glitter! :0)

Le printemps - week 3 - joyeuses Pâques

For our Easter craft, we decorated bunny biscuits. I was lucky enough to find some lovely bunny rabbit biscuits in a local shop and the children had great fun with icing and sprinkles :0)

A gorgeous and delicious craft to round off the term :0)
