Circle Black Panther Craft -
Shapes, Scissor Skills, Colors, and Counting Practice

This craft can be used to teach a variety of skills.  You don't have to use all the thoughts for lessons... just choose the ones you're working on with your child.

Materials you'll need:  scissors, glue, printer, paper

Thoughts for Lessons:

SCISSOR SKILLS:

  • This craft has lots of nice large circles to cut out -- good scissor practice! 
  • You can precut the template into separate pieces (roughly) to make it a bit easier for beginning crafters to cut out the circles.

SHAPES:

  • have the children make a pile of all the circles.  Brainstorm items in the household that are also circles (a plate for example)

COLORS:

  • verbally instruct the children on how to assemble the shapes using the colors of the shapes.  (ie:  Take the red circle and glue it on the black circle.).

SIZES:

  • show the children two circles and ask -- is this one bigger, smaller or the same size as that one.

COUNTING:

  • Count the circles.
  • Count the circles of various sizes
     
  • Glue the small red circle into the center of one of the medium black circles.
