Clown game
This game is good for hand-eye coordination,
as your little one moves the box around to
get the ball through the clown’s nose.
YOU WILL NEED
Cardboard box with sides
Pencil
Craft paint
Paintbrush
Craft knife
Plastic ball
METHOD
1 Draw the circle (the clown’s nose) on the
inside of the box and then draw the outline
of a clown face. Make sure the hole is
big enough for a ball to fall through.
2 Paint the face and outline it with
a thin line of black paint.
3 Cut out the centre of the hole.
Shape and colour matching
Playing this game is a perfect time to discuss
colours and the names of shapes.
YOU WILL NEED
Large piece of cardboard
Paper
Marking pen
Scissors
Velcro tape
Glue
Felt
METHOD
1 Draw different shapes on a piece of paper and cut out.
2 Use the shapes as templates to trace the
same shapes onto the cardboard.
3 Make matching templates on the felt and cut out.
4 Cut 2cm strips of Velcro (the side with the hooks)
and glue into the shapes on the cardboard.
