Activity with keiki to help with patterning, fine motor skills, and art exploration.

What You Need:

Large paper bags

Newspaper

Stapler

Paints or markers

Glue

6 strips of colored streamers or tissue paper, cut into 24” strips

What To Do:

Cut two large matching cloud shapes out of the paper bags. Staple them together, stapling about 2” apart along all the edges, but leave a 10” opening on the bottom for stuffing.

As your child does the following steps, talk about the order of the steps by using words like “first,” “second,” “next,” “last,” etc.

Have your child paint or draw on both sides of the stapled cloud.

Show him how to tear the newspaper and crumple it into balls.
- Have him stuff the cloud shape with the crumpled paper balls until it’s full.
- Help your child staple the bottom of the cloud shut.
- Have your child glue the streamers one at a time onto the bottom of the cloud. Talk about the colors as he glues them.
