We borrowed a great activity from another class and the Bunnies really loved it! We brought in a light table and used markers to draw very simple Christmas related shapes on the table. The Bunnies put white paper on top and were able to trace the shapes.
This Bunny traced two stars and was ready to try the stocking next.
This Bunny traced a tree and colored it with a variety of markers.
Tracing is a great way to develop eye hand coordination and also give children a little confidence boost. So often they say, "I don't know how to draw a ___________." and they are right. They are not yet developmentally capable of drawing something that looks like what they have pictured in their mind. Tracing gives a little bit of structure and then their creativity can take over.
