Children's Winter tree

Tinfoil Tree

 

 

May showed me how to do tinfoil trees last week and I was surprised how easy they are to make.

Cut or tear the foil into rectangle shaped strips, fold over one side a little at a time until you end up with a thick strip of tinfoil. Twist the strip round and round to form the branches. A long strip can be bent in half and twisted to form the tree trunk. Sounds a bit simple but it works and you get to design your own silver tree.

May's been busy painting tree's this weekend. First was hand painting the tree trunk and then finger painting the leaves. The tree turned out great and its easy enough for children of ages to do.

Easy to make Finger Puppets

Our Family Portrait

{Finger Puppet Style}

  When I worked in Nursery Schools I spent a lot of time reading children stories, some sat better than others. My favourite way of getting their attention was with puppets,they helped bring stories to life. 

Many an afternoon I spent talking to a puppet,some of the other nursery nurses thought i was mad but it worked.The children wanted more stories.The Finger puppets are easy

to make and can be made to look like most characters in children's books.I have put instruction's and more photos of other characters into my Preschool Arts and craft page.They are cheap to and fun to make!
