Paper and large child-appropriate crayons
Age: 3–5 years; choose for the individual child.
Stay with the child throughout. Check the space and supplies, including anything within reach of younger siblings. Skip any activity that is unsuitable. Stop if a child puts non-food material in their mouth or becomes distressed. Use intact books, full sheets of paper, a large child-appropriate crayon and a clean, dry towel. Follow product labels; remove torn paper and keep broken crayons and caps away from children. Adult handles and stores supplies.
Set up: Open the printable coloring page or draw a large teddy bear on paper.
Adult's role: Help with drawing or reading the word July if wanted. Let the child decide what belongs at the pretend picnic.
Let's make it happen
- Color the bear and its picnic blanket using any colors you choose.
- Draw a pretend picnic food or a friend beside the bear.
- Point to the word July and tell a story about the picnic.
Make it simpler: Color the bear with one favorite crayon.
Clean up: Put paper and crayons away.
This is a paper activity. Use intact crayons suitable for your child and stay nearby.
