Julia Donalson’s book ‘The Paper Dolls’ has quickly become one of my daughters favourite bedtime story books. For those of you who haven’t read it, it is a beautiful story about a little girl who makes some paper dolls with her mum. The paper dolls go on an adventure and when they get broken, they go into the little girl’s memory.
I was keen to find an activity that I could do around the book...
After lots of homeschooling over the last year, I have been looking at different ways to make learning more fun. Painting is always a go-to activity for me as you can adapt it in so many ways and sneak in lots of learning opportunities. Today’s painting activity involves learning all about letters and letter formation.
My daughter absolutely loves painting, so I thought what better way to teach her numbers than through a finger painting activity ? This activity was super easy and your children won’t even know they are learning at the same time.
What you will need:
Paints. We always make sure we use washable paints as my daughter always ends up totally covered!
