There are lots of situations where you don’t want to make a mess, or don’t have time to clean up. Here are some “no fuss no muss” activities that require very little clean-up.
- Stickers – you can buy a variety of shape, size and coloured stickers at the dollar store. Give each child a blank piece of paper and some stickers and watch their imaginations create pictures!
- Play clay – each child gets a paper plate and some coloured clay or plasticine. If they spread the clay on the plate, it will stick to make 3D art.
- Sticky collage – buy some clear, sticky protector rolls at the dollar store. Tape pieces onto a table, sticky side up. Provide the children with various collage materials and let them stick them to the paper. When they are finished, place construction paper over top, turn the whole thing over and… presto! instant picture.
The sticky collage is especially good for toddlers.
