Depending on your child’s skills, you can have them sort the stars by color and then ask them to match the number of stars to the number they see at the top of the page, using a certain color.

Tip: You can also use star-shaped stickers for this activity.

Print or draw the outline of a letter S onto a sheet of paper, using either just an uppercase letter S or an uppercase and lowercase letter S. Have your child fill the outline with liquid glue (it can be helpful to paint it on with an old paintbrush).

Then, sprinkle or gently pour salt all over the glue in the letter S and let it dry. After it dries, shake off the excess salt. Add some color to the salt-filled letter S by gently painting over the salt with water color or diluted acrylic paint.

Tip: Help keep the salt contained in this craft by placing the paper onto a rimmed baking sheet before sprinkling on the salt.

Then create smiling face with googly eyes and a marker!
