No1 Dad Award Cup

Posted 2013-06-25 by Oxford Explorer ⇒ follow

Toddlers love to glue and stick. Keep an eye out for interesting materials to use with different textures and colours. My son made this award cup at the Kaleidoscope Children's Centre for Father's Day. This wonderful centre, works alongside families with children five and under, providing information, advice and a wide range of services.

No.1 Dad Award

Method

Draw a simple award cup on the card and cut out.

Punch two holes on either side.

Set out a pot of buttons in different colours and sizes as well as some pieces of silver effect foil.

Your child can now glue and stick buttons and foil wherever they want. Some kids might want a mostly silver effect with 'jewel' buttons but my son was button crazy.
