paint bag writing
This is a genius idea for working on letter’s and shapes, or anything else your child would enjoy drawing. Paint Bag Writing is so crafty- I knew my 3 year old would love it. It is a great way for me to help him hold a pen as well- a q-tip is a great place to start! I did this yesterday with him and it was so easy. We pressed our hands and feet on it and did lots of letters and drawing. The best part being - no clean up!
I also liked this idea for my older son- called Counting The House- a simple but great activity for him to do while I cooked dinner last night! He got very into this project and asked me to do it again with him before bed. You can print her free pdf- wonderful when people offer that on their site.
All these ideas are from a creative site called Let’s Explore.


Thanks for the links – so glad your kids enjoyed the activities!
Genious! Morgan just said “this is like the coolest thing ever!” and skipped off to start counting.
Can’t wait to try this and other activities–that site looks like a goldmine! Thanks.
Good idea. Another spin on this is to put lightly hued gel in a bag & lay it over large block letters/numbers/shapes, etc. & let them trace.
