Great craft Idea for Parties

Hello EC Families!

I wanted to share a great craft idea from one of our Halloween parties this week! The students used playdough, sequins, pipecleaners, and googly eyes to create their own monsters. The best part of this activity was that children could take their monsters apart and create new ones for as long as they were engaged in the activity! Thus, the children were entertained by this activity for longer!

This activity could also be modified for other parties. For instance:

• Christmas -- build a snowman or decorate a Christmas tree
• Valentine's Day -- create a love bug
• Easter -- make an Easter egg or a bunny
• End of the Year Party -- make your own sea creature!

Another awesome idea for this activity is to put all the materials in individual ziploc bags for the students so they can take them home after the party! That way, they can still have fun with them at home OR if we run out of time at the party, the children can still do it when they get home!

Blessings,
​Mrs. Soldner
