Tracing shapes and patterns was the first activity we did. You can see little bro in the background really wanting to take part. :) I finally gave him a marker and a piece of paper and he thought he was big stuff.
The second activity was similar to the first, but it includes scissor practice.
Next up was a pattern game which included figuring out the pattern (which we have never really worked on so that was a good one!) and then gluing down the little pieces of paper he had cut out onto the right spots.
The last activity was a color key picture. It was great practice for colors and numbers. I would have him look at the color key and tell me what color was next to number 1. Then I would pull out the marker (I would use crayons next time) and give him the color he told me. Then I would help him find the number on the Christmas tree and color it in with the correct color. After we finished I let him loose with glitter glue to really make his picture sparkle. He LOVES glitter glue. Definitely some fabulous activities and all you need is a printer and some basic art supplies.
Merry Christmas everyone!
