The Foil Button Press

Steps:

Tear off a large sheet of aluminum foil.
Use both hands to crumple the foil into a flat, thick pancake shape.
Press down hard on the foil with your palm to make it dense.
Give your child a handful of colorful buttons.
Ask them to press each button firmly into the foil surface.
The foil will wrap around the edges to hold the buttons tight!
Try to cover the whole foil pancake with a button pattern.

Safety Tip:
Buttons are a choking hazard. Always supervise your child during play.

The Royal Cardboard Cuff

Steps:

Help your child use scissors to cut a paper roll into three wide rings.
Use the hole puncher to make several holes around the edge of one ring.
Let your child decorate the cardboard rings with colorful markers.
Tie one end of the yarn to a hole on the ring.
Ask your child to thread the yarn through the other holes, adding beads as they go.
Tie a knot at the end to secure the royal cuff.

Safety Tip:
Adult supervision is required when using scissors. Small beads are a choking hazard; keep them away from children who still put items in their mouths.

The Tongs and Tower Reach

Steps:

Place a bucket on a sturdy table or chair.
Put three bean bags on the floor next to a step stool.
Have your child stand safely on the step stool.
Ask them to hold the tongs with their favorite hand.
Challenge them to reach down and grab a bean bag with the tongs.
They must carefully stand back up and drop the bean bag into the bucket.
Repeat until all the bean bags are rescued!

Safety Tip:
Always ensure the step stool is on a flat surface and place it near a wall or adult for extra support if needed.

Paper Roll Tunnel Guide

Steps:

Tape four paper rolls onto a large piece of cardboard to create tunnels.
Place the board on a flat table or the floor.
Give your child a ping pong ball and a craft stick.
Ask them to push the ball through each tunnel using the stick.
They should hold the board steady with their helper hand.

Safety Tip:
Constant adult supervision is required. Ping pong balls can be a choking hazard for young children. Ensure all materials are used as intended.

Foamy Pan Treasure Search

Steps:

Fill the aluminium foil pan with a thick layer of shaving cream. Spread it out to cover the whole bottom.
Sprinkle a handful of colorful sequins all over the foam. Use your fingers to push them down so they are hidden.
Give your child the tongs and the empty plastic container.
Ask your child to use the tongs to search through the foam and find the hidden gems.
Once they find a sequin, they must pick it up and drop it into the plastic container.
See if they can find all the colors of the rainbow!

Safety Tip:
Shaving cream can be irritating to the eyes. Always supervise closely. Ensure your child does not place the shaving cream or sequins in their mouth. Wash hands thoroughly after play.
