What you need.  A box Paper Milk bottle tops, corks, marbles or baby food pouch tops.  Paint Cellotape What to do.  1) Line the box with white paper.  2) Squeeze different coloured paint in patches all over the box.  3) Add in bottle tops or small objects that will roll about and you don't mind getting covered in paint.  4) Close the lid on the box and Cellotape up.  5) This is the fun part.

Mosaic Picture

Image
Make a mosaic picture. You could use coloured paper for the mosaic pieces. Either tear up or practice cutting skills and cut coloured paper up. Use a piece of coloured card for the background. Black looks good. Decide what the picture will be in the middle. Pick two colours for the border and alternate the pieces. Place on card first then glue down. Create the picture in the centre. Could be a flower, animal, sport related, initials, a rainbow, football etc Glue central picture down when happy with picture. Then choose one or two similar colours  to fill in the background. Glue pieces down. We used painted lasagne pasta (which was out of date) which we've had in the craft cupboard for over a year! Paint the lasagne pasta sheets different colours, leave to dry, break up into pieces once dry and place in zip lock plastic bags or tubs.

Spelling Dice Game

Learn spellings with a spelling dice game. Divide an A4 sheet into six columns. Draw one dice face at top of each column and put a different number on each dice face. Write words in the columns from your child's spelling list (could be reading list if your child is younger). We made this game a few years ago. To play, roll the dice. If you roll a one the other player takes the sheet and picks a word for the player to spell from the one column. If they spell it correctly they get a point. Take it in turns. If they spell the word wrong then look and talk about how they spelt it wrong and how to spell correctly. (Adult could get some wrong on purpose to talk about how to spell correctly.) If reading then pick a word for the child to read, get a point for reading correctly. Could tick words as read them.
