This time we’re making symmetry hearts. I have to
admit, I’m not fantastically fabulous at free-hand drawing (and my son definitely
inherited that from me). When he was younger we’d fold a piece of paper in
half, draw half the shape, and then cut it out to make a symmetrical looking
picture. This activity is no different. Well, it sort of is. It actually
expands on this idea with an artsy game.
Here’s What You’ll Need:
·
Construction paper
·
A marker
·
Scissors
·
Clear-drying school glue
Here’s What to Do:
1. Stack
two or three pieces of construction paper together (each paper should be a
different color).
2. Fold
the paper in half book style.
3. Draw
half a heart on the paper, starting at the fold. You may need to show your
child a whole heart first. Then, fold the heart in half to help her visualize
what she will draw.
4. Cut
the hearts out.
5. Repeat,
making a few more stacks of hearts in different shapes and sizes. Have your
child create chubby hearts, skinny hearts, tall ones and short ones.
6. Unfold
all of the hearts.
7. Cut
each heart at the fold line to make halves.
8. Scatter
the hearts on a flat surface.
9. Match
the heart halves. The trick is that your child can’t use the colors to make a
match. Each new pair has to have half a heart from a different color. She needs
to match the shape and size to create symmetrical Valentine’s Day hearts.
10. Glue the pairs onto a piece of paper to
make a holiday collage.

ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up with this week's parenting pin it party x x x
Not only this Valentine’s Day Activity helped my niece learn to draw hearts, but introduced her to the idea. As a student who got done with college, thanks to when I decided to buy essay online by the experts that filled in every detail of my writing assignments, getting me a fine grade. It’d be great if y’all post an activity that involves Thanksgiving, because I’m planning to spend more time with my niece this year.
ReplyDeleteI was helping out as an art teacher for kindergarten students, like the mini Monet’s being talked about here. I was conducting a similar activity like this for the students under me and I wanted them to make something for their mothers on Valentine’s day. This activity meant so much to me I took UK Assignment Help to handle all my college assignments, till I help my kids to draw, color, paint hearts on paper, and man it was worth it
