what they like to eat or activities they like to do.They will then<br />
lo<strong>ok</strong> for pictures or words that remind them of what they like<br />
and glue them onto their placemat. Once the creations are<br />
complete, you can cover the placemat with clear contact<br />

both lengthwise and horizontally, than the size of your<br />
placemat. This is a great activity for birthday parties and<br />

Sand Play Pictures<br />
WHAT YOU NEED: Construction<br />
paper, cotton swab or craft<br />
stick, liquid glue, sand and<br />
probably a broom (unless you<br />

GETTING STARTED: Give everyone a piece of construction paper. Have<br />
everyone spread glue on their paper in whatever design they wish,<br />
using a cotton swab or craft stick. Sprinkle sand on the glue, shaking<br />
off the access. Voila!! Lovely sand art! Lay the pictures flat to dry for<br />
about an hour or so, to ensure the glue dries.<br />
Silly Never Ending Stories<br />
WHAT YOU NEED: I<strong>mag</strong>ination and participants who like to talk!<br />
GETTING STARTED: Choose someone to start the story. When they<br />

person will continue the story in their own words, then they stop<br />
and let the third person take over until everyone has had several<br />
turns and a story has unfolded. Encourage the children to use their<br />
i<strong>mag</strong>inations! Don’t forget to be silly - children love silly stories!<br />
