Holiday Activity
My 2 year old son’s weekly co-op always has adorable project stations for the children. Last week there was a “pumpkin pie” station that integrated sensory with art. I decided we had to do it at home. So simple.
Pumpkin Pie
Materials Needed:
- Two pieces of construction paper {brown for the crust and orange for the pie}
- Glue
- Shaving Cream
- Small Paint Brush or Popsicle Sticks to apply Puff Paint
- Holiday Spices like Nutmeg, Cinnamon and Ginger
Paper Craft for Kids
Approach
- Cut your “Piece of Pie” ahead of time by gluing a “triangular” or 1/3 circular shaped piece of orange construction paper onto top of a slightly larger piece of similar shaped brown construction paper.
- Gather your spices
- Mix your Puff Paint (shaving cream and glue)
- Set up the project and invite the children to “top a piece of pie”
- Encourage the children to apply the puff paint as though it were whipped cream on top of a delicious piece of pie
- Then invite them to smell each spice. Name each spice as you smell it and then offer the children a turn to smell
- Then ask them which spice(s) they would like to apply onto their pie and let them at it!
