Activities & Days Out / 16 June, 2018 / Nanny Anita
After a full day of nursery for both my charges I needed a nice quiet activity to keep them entertained just before super. With a fridge full of vegetables and some slightly squished potatoes I remembered that firm favourite of all art activities: vegetable printing.
Make sure you follow my painting board on Pinterest for more ideas. Don’t forget to save the pin for later.
For our potato shapes I cut them in half and then carved out the shapes that the kiddies wanted.
With the cucumber I cut it into long wedges and then on one side drew a pattern, e.g. A wiggly line, using a knife.
I didn’t do anything to the lettuce leaves, just used them as they came.
If you have all the celery still attached at the base just cut straight through all of the stalks. Keep them attached because it makes a really beautiful rose pattern.
This activity is wonderful for helping young children with fine motor skills and cognitive development (shapes and colour mixing) but for slightly older children you could set challenges for them like making a picture of an animal using the stamps.
Pin for later:
Myavo is Graco’s game-changing compact stroller which offers the look of premium brands but at the high street price of just £130 – making it up to £300 cheaper than competitors.
It’s perfect for those who don’t want to blow the budget or compromise on style. And it’s packed full of features for comfort and convenience, including its incredible one-hand, one-second fold which makes Myavo ideal for use on the go. Plus, at just 5.8kg, Myavo is one of the lightest compact strollers available.
You can have it all with Myavo!
