Preschool Arts And Crafts: Sea Horse Themes And Ideas By Jennifer Houck If you are teaching preschool arts and crafts and are looking for a Sea Horse theme, then here are some great ideas that you can use. First of all, children love the ocean and Sea Horses hold a special appeal to most preschoolers because of their unique appearance. If you are fortunate enough to bring live Sea Horses in your classroom, then you can display them in a tank. However, for most preschool teachers, this won't be an option and a more creative approach will be needed to ensure that your preschool arts and crafts Sea Horse theme is a success. Tissue Paper Sea Horse For this activity, you will need construction paper Sea Horse cut outs. Simply trace your Sea Horse template or shape on to construction paper then cut them out. For a free Sea Horse template that you may print visit here: http://www.firstschool.ws/t/cpseahorse.html Let each child have some pre cut tissue paper and a little cup of Elmer's glue. They can apply the glue with a paintbrush and decorate their Sea Horses with the tissue paper. Underwater Sea Horse Scene Here is an activity that you can use to create an underwater scene. This is a great addition for your preschool arts and crafts Sea Horse theme. First, you will need to print out this template of Sea Horses

provided by First School. http://www.firstschool.ws/t/cp_animals/sea−horses.html Have the children color the pictures with crayons. After children have finished their scenes, lightly paint over their pictures with blue tempera paint. This will give an underwater appearance to their pictures. As an alternative, you can have the children draw their scenes as well as Sea Horses, then color their pictures with crayons, and cover with the blue Tempera. Sea Horse and Ocean Book for Preschoolers For this activity you will need to print two copies of the Sea Horse template on cardstock (this will be the cover of the book). Again, you can find the free template here: http://www.first−school.ws/t/cpseahorse2.html . Next, you can add regular blank paper for the inside of the book. Have the children color and decorate the covers. Let the children paste pictures of ocean animals inside the book.

Arts & Crafts − Encourage Your Children By LynnM The moment you first give a toddler a crayon and a piece of paper, you're giving that child a step up to a world of creativity, learning, entertainment and accomplishment. It's the world of Arts and Crafts. A small phrase for such an important part of a child's development. Children are interested in Arts & Crafts from an early age. Toddlers love to scribble on pieces of paper with chunky crayons. Later, when they understand not to eat it, play dough is a fascinating medium. They can squish it, use plastic tools on it, blend the colors together, and press out shapes from it. Everything get in a mess − play dough gets mashed into clothes, hair, shoes, the floor...but of course that's part of the fun for pre−schoolers. The messier the better! And what could be messier than paint? Give a small child a pot of thick paint, scrap paper and a chunky paintbrush, and they're happy. If you can't bear to have paint on everything, take it outdoors. Using playdough and painting materials, kids

are learning about form and substance, improving their motor skills and enhancing their imaginations. As they grow, there will be more and more crafts to choose from, and, thanks to the diverse range of crafts for kids, there's something for everyone, whether 2 or 12 years old. If you join in, you'll be giving your kids happy memories to store away. So, encourage your kids to express themselves with arts and crafts. Never force them − it has to be an enjoyable pursuit. Similarly, don't ever disparage your child's work of art. Don't be discouraged if your child lacks interest − just explore different options. Be imaginative. Do crafts outdoors as well as in. Use different materials or seasonal themes. In this age of mindless TV watching and video games, the ability to something creative is an amazing skill for a child to have. You'll be so glad you encouraged them. LynnM is a work−from−home mom. Read more about children at her website http://www.family−den.com/Children.html
