Indoor Scavenger Hunt

If the weather is not great for the Outdoor Scavenger Hunt on Friday, here is a Indoor Scavenger Hunt for you and your kids to do.

Glitter Shapes

On construction paper, use glue to draw various shapes: square, rectangle, triangle, heart, circle, oval, star. Have your child sprinkle glitter over the shapes. Shake off the extra glitter and practice the names of each shape. If you do not have glitter, your student can also do this with markers or pencils and have them color it in.

Paper Plate Beach ball

I was going to do this project with them in class.
All you need is construction paper, a paper plate, and glue.

Directions:

1. Draw a circle in the middle of the plate.

2. Divide the plate into 1/6ths. We did this by lightly folding the plate in 1/2 in three different spots and drawing out lines on the folded creases.

3. Tear construction paper into small pieces.

4. Glue pieces of torn construction paper into the plate so that each 1/6th is a different color.
