Mom and Dad Craft Activity

This Mom and Dad Craft is a wonderful activity for a community helper unit or a visit from a local childcare provider! I also love to use it for a “When I Grow Up” themed unit too! Students will love this cut and paste activity and be proud to see their finished mom or dad craft hanging up on your classroom bulletin board. The patterns are kid-friendly, easy to prep, and great any time of the year!

What’s included in this pdf:

• A photograph of the craft activity
• Step-by-step directions
• Templates that can be copied directly onto colored cardstock or construction paper and then cut out by students. 
• Labeled templates that can be xeroxed onto cardstock, cut by the teacher, and then traced onto colored paper and cut by students. Labels will include the name of the pattern, the color to use, and how many of each pattern to cut (Ex: Body Cut 1 Red).

Here are some fun ways to use the craft:

• study on the letter d or m
• practicing fine motor skills
• bulletin boards
• door and hallway decorations
• small group station
• pair it with a worksheet, activity, or book
• reward or class party
