3-Colour Activity with Egg Puppets

Required Materials

Egg shells
Watermark
Colourful pipets
Silicon gun
Icecream box lids
Colourful pompoms
Colourful foam papers

How to do it?

Prepare hats as pasting colourful pompoms on the icecream box lids.

I painted the egg shells with my daughter and paste the pipets in the eggs with silicon gun.

And then we made mouth, nose and eyes with foam paper.

Draw the puppets out and let your child place the right hat to its owner puppet, according to the colours of the hat and the puppet. It is a very important activity for both the language development and for learning the colors.

To speak of the contribution of puppets to the development of children, puppet games develop the imagination and creativity of children. While a puppet show is being performed, they learn a variety of words and think about where to use those words. Besides, puppets contribute the social development like listening, sharing, taking responsibility, contacting with other individuals… etc.. In short, these inanimate objects may turn into very useful education materials if they are used at the right time and used properly.

Activities with puppets will be very useful in many fields of development for the child such as; using the language fluently and properly, using the rules of the language and expressing himself confidently… etc.

Support your child’s development through these kinds of fun activites you can prepare with play dough.

Required Materials

Different coloured play doughs
Googly eyes
Coloured toothpick or number sticks (I used number sticks).

How to do it?

First of all get different coloured play doughs and make hedgehogs from them. Use googly eyes for the eyes and black dough for the nose.

Use the coloured number sticks and make quills for the hedgehogs according to their colours. the quills and hedgehogs should be in same colour. For example, my daughter took the red stick and stick it in the red hedgehog. Then we uttered that that colour is red. This activity was also educatory about the development of fine motor skills.

Toilet paper rolls
Pipet sor sticks
