Such a quick and simple activity that will keep little hands busy. It’s a perfect calming fine motor exercise too.

Ice cream collage 🍦🙌😍 we haven't done an ice cream activity for a while. This one was a great way to use up lots of the loose parts and scraps that I've been saving up. Was a complete hit with the kids too. We had a play date planned so I set everything up the night before. Was so sweet watching their busy hands round the table and talking about how they were going to decorate their ice creams. #invitationtocreate #kidsartwork #littleartist

Sand Fingerprint Painting 🎨 👆🏖 we've been getting creative with colored sand from @creative_sand_store_nz and let me tell you... colored sand is totally as fun as glitter... If not more! 🙌 We used milk bottle tops as containers for our sand ♻️💚 and a lid for some pva glue. The girls dipped there finger in glue and pressed it onto card, then pinched small amounts of sand to cover the glue fingerprint . We kept a small dish close by to shake the excess sand into. Lots of fine motor fun for little hands and finger muscles 💪 🙌 #sandart #artinvitation #fingerpainting
Print making flowers with cardboard 💐🎨♻️✔️ we really loved this one. So easy to set up. Rolled up strips of cardboard. The type with a corrugated texture in the middle works best. We held the rolls together with rubber bands. Using poster paints, we dipped and stamped then flattened an empty TP roll for theeaf effect. Planning to use these artworks as wrapping paper ♻️✔️💚 #artforkids #processartforkids #preschoolartwork

When someone mentions a leaf challenge of course we're straight in there. We love nothing more than tinkering with finds from our garden. So when @tagfromtheheart challenged us this week, we couldn't wait to share our hedgehog nature weave 🍃 🙌 🦔 ♻️ So many things I loved about this activity from reusing materials, how easy the cardboard template was to make, and going on a nature treasure hunt to find leaves and flowers for our little critter. Wrapping the yarn and threading the leaves is a fab fine motor exercise for little hands. See what we got up to on our blog 👀👆🔝🆕 #natureplay #invitationtocreate #natureweave
Invitation to create 🕸️🕷️ spider webs 🙌 we haven't had an invitation for a while. Miss 5 and I sat at the table with this one while little sis had a snooze. I had anticipated just how many learning experiences would take place before we started. Firstly she had to figure out how she was going to construct the sticks, how big the ball of playdough needed to be to hold the sticks, what the best way to wrap the yarn was and how to construct the spider. If you want more simple ideas from every day items, check out this week's challenge over at @get.creative.with there are so many neat ideas. #invitationtocreate #everydayplayhacks #funlearningathome
