*Mini Marshmallows
*Construction paper
*Maybe a drink of water (You'll see why) :)
Directions:
1. For younger kids draw a picture of a snowflake, snowman or whatever. For older kids they can draw their own pictures and make a design without a drawn outline.
2. Lick the flat part of marshmallows and push onto paper.
My Review:
Ethan really enjoyed this. It is art and playing with food at the same time. :) If you are wondering how there could possibly educational value to this, I will explain. Fine motor skills: holding the small marshmallow and placing it carefully. Eye hand coordination: Getting the marshmallow on the line. Self Awareness: Everyone is different and special just like snowflakes. There is no wrong way to make a snow flake just like there is no wrong way to express yourself through art.
We are thinking of doing this one in the spring with colored marshmallows to make flowers.
