Simple Crafts for Preschoolers

Page history last edited by Jane McManus 1 year, 8 months ago

Most of these suggestions you already know. The consensus for Storytime crafts is to make it as simple as possible.  For 3, 4 and 5 year-olds, scissor skills are encouraged. Crayons are better than markers since they require more hand strength. Asking children to tear paper as part of a craft, increases hand strength & dexterity. (FB group, Storytime Solidarity, Megan Moore, 7-26-2022.)

(Some members suggested NO CRAFTS, just music and movement activities. You're in charge, you make the call. Please add YOUR suggestions.)
