Vito and I are doing lots of new things since September started and one of which is trying out some simple crafts for motor skills development and sensory play.
Since we’re having farm animals this week… we made a colorful-feathered rooster. We call this in the Phils “sarimanok”, a mythical legendary creature that symbolizes the closeness to the spiritual being of the native people.
Materials are pretty simple:
- colored craft feathers
- glue
- a coloring page of a rooster
- corn kernels (optional)
Let your little one apply glue to the picture. I suggest this kind of glue, with bigger mouthpiece so it will be easy for them to squeeze out the glue.
Don’t restrict, just allow them apply the glue anywhere they want (as long as it is within the tray). This large tray is from Ikea. Did you know that by using the glue, they learn the concept of cause and effect? Squeezing it results to glue coming out. My son loves watching the glue drops from the mouthpiece!
And Vito loves opening and closing the the container.
Place the feather into the image.
Put corn kernels on it as well if its available.
My Vito often stops and observes his hand for stains, dirt or anything that sticks on it.
And here it is.. my Vito’s first craft ever! We admired his work afterwards, and he even showed it to Mavi and the Dad. Love that he is showing a sense of accomplishment at a young age.
I’d love to try any of these activities for my youngest this season!
