Materials:
- printer
- paper or card stock
- coloring & writing supplies
- scissors
- tape
- Optional: 1.5 inch circle cutter
This is a fun spring or Easter activity (or any time of the year) that will help children with counting and color recognition.
Tip: If doing this activity with children 2 years and under you need to do the cutting & coloring and some of the gluing ahead of time and move on to the song and finger play activity.
Print the song & finger play "Five Pretty Flowers" with instructions on the link provided. Cut out the finger puppets. Cut five strips of paper to fit around the children fingers, tape the puppets on the finger tips over the strips of paper. Alternative: Instead of attaching to the fingers, attach to craft sticks or Popsicle stick.
Coins: Use real coins with older kids and paper coins using the template. Use a 1.5 inch circle cutter or scissors. To make them easier to pick, glue unto plastic caps, such as milk gallon caps that are about that size. The black and white format can be printed directly to bright yellow or orange paper. The paper coins feature a $ symbol, which represents the USA dollar, which is the primary reserve currency for countries around the world.
Sing or chant the song following the instructions using the flowers and coins.
