"I
HAVE DIFFERENT EMOTIONS" CRAFT
 
 
"Sarah" asked for some
ideas on different emotions! I thought my 2 year old would have fun with this theme
so tried to make a craft suitable for younger kids too.
Materials you will need are a printer, paper (I
prefer white construction paper or another heavier paper), scissors, glue, crayons and a
paper plate/CD/or margarine lid. Optional materials include wool for hair and a
popsicle stick or tongue depressor to turn the craft into a puppet.
- Cut two pieces of construction paper the size of
your circle if you aren't using a paper plate (trace around the CD or margarine lid).
- Glue the construction paper to your circle (both
sides).
- This step can be done by an adult earlier.
- Print out the template of choice.
- Colour pieces, as necessary.
- Cut out the pieces. This step may require
adult assistance and can be done prior to making the craft with the children.
- Paste the template pieces onto the circle to make
an expression (see pictures above for some ideas). The eyebrows are a key way to
change the emotions!
- You can make these "reversible" by
gluing one face on the front (happy for example) and one on the back (sad for example).
- Put some wool on for hair if you like.
- Glue a popsicle stick on to make a puppet if you
like.
- Ask your child to describe how the character is
feeling. Ask them to describe a situation that made them feel that way.
- Close the template window after printing to
return to this screen.
- Sometimes it may say "No pages available to
print".
- This happens with some browsers and means that
you've printed or print previewed once already.
- If you get this message, hit RELOAD or REFRESH
and try printing again.
- Set page margins to zero if you have trouble
fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP in most browsers).
