Fun With Shapes And Glue

I finally went through my old scrapbooking stuff and came across a packet of colored paper. This stuff is going to be perfect for future projects and I thought it was perfect for today. Todays craft became a bit of a lesson as well and Liv had fun doing it. I let her pick out the colors and had her tell me the shapes as we built our picture. Can you think of any other pictures you can build by just using shapes? I would love to see them! You can email me at livslullaby@gmail.com. Have fun!

SUPPLIES

Colored Paper
Scissors
Elmer's Glue

DIRECTIONS

1) Cut out the shapes you will need for your picture. For the house we used a square, a triangle roof, heart windows, and a rectangle door. We also added oval bushes in the front yard. For the trees we used rectangles and circles and finally a circle for the sun.

2) Ask your toddler the colors and shapes. Have them glue the backs of the paper and help place the shapes accordingly.

This project was a lot of fun for both of us. E-mail your finished project to livslullaby@gmail.com and I will include them in a future blog entry. Have fun!
