Even though I’ve switched to mostly digital scrapbooking, I was still pretty excited when BzzAgent sent me an invite to try out some Elmer’s Craftbond and X-ACTO products. I’ve been trying to do some preschool activities with Ty so I figured I’d kill two birds with one stone.
What we used:
- X-ACTO zig zag scissors
- Print out of 5 pumpkins and a gate
- Elmer’s Craftbond Glue Spots
- Elmer’s Craftbond All Purpose Glue Stick
- Green paper
- Scissors
- Crayons
- We talked about how pumpkins are orange squash and counted the strip of 5 pumpkins.
- Then the kids colored their pumpkins orange.
- After I drew cutting lines in between the pumpkins, Ty learned how to hold the scissors properly and practiced by cutting apart his pumpkins.
- I drew 5 dots above his gate and had him put glue dots on each dot. Mia just used a glue stick.
- Then he put each pumpkin on a glue dot. It was so much less messy than real glue.
- We used the zig zag scissors to grass out of green paper and the glue stick to glue it down.
- Voila!
Then we did one of my favorite fall finger plays.
5 Little Pumpkins
5 little pumpkins sitting on a gate
The first one said, “Oh my, it’s getting late!”
The second one said, “There’s a chill in the air.”
The third one said, “We don’t care.”
The fourth one said, “Let’s go for a run.”
The fifth one said, “We’re having so much fun.”
Then woosh went the wind and POP! <Clap> went the light,
And all five pumpkins rolled out of site.
Intriguing article. I am sure I’m slightly late in posting my comment but the article ended up being the purpose and just the info I became searching for.
