4 Rolling Dog Toy Looking for a new toy for your preschooler, but you don't want to spend any money? Here's the perfect activity. Together, you and your child will make a simple toy that will provide hours of fun playtime when you're all done. As you work together, she'll get the chance to paint, draw, build, and learn. The best part? You should be able to find all the materials you need lying around your house. What You Need: Flimsy paper plate Markers or crayons Scissors Hole punch Drinking straw, cut in half 2 small empty spools What You Do: 1. Help your child fold the paper plate in half, then outline a profile of a dog on the plate so the fold will run down the center of the dog's back. 2. Cut out the dog, and have her decorate it with markers or crayons. 3. Have her fold the front legs together while you punch a hole in them 1/4 inch from the bottom. Do the same for the back legs. 4. Slip one half of your straw through a hole in the front leg. Put a spool over the straw, then put the straw through the hole in the other leg. Even out the straw and trim it so that 1/2 an inch sticks out from each side. 5. Repeat the same process on the back legs. 6. Now your dog will stand up on the spools. Give him a little push and watch him roll! You can make more rolling creatures in the same way. Let your child decide what other rolling animal toys she wants. After you've made a few, have a race and see which animal wins! Excerpted from "Make These Toys: 101 Clever Creations from Everyday Items" Copyright 2010 by Heather Swain.

5 Animal Dice Looking for a fun way to encourage imaginative play? Get your preschooler to craft her own "critter dice" cute, six-sided, animal-themed dice. All it takes are two two single-serving milk or juice cartons, and some adorable animal images! These dice are a surefire way to bring out her inner animal lover and inspire storytelling and acting. What You Need: 2 small cartons such as single-serving milk or juice cartons or half and half cartons Scissors Tape Glue Construction paper Pictures of 6 different animals (stickers or online photos from a zoo site will work) What You Do: 1. While your child is drinking the carton of milk or juice, encourage him to help you find pictures of his six favorite animals. Use stickers or go to a zoo website and print off photos of six animals such as a kangaroo, a giraffe, a boa constrictor, a giant tortoise, a flamingo, a crocodile, or whatever else comes to mind! 2. Once the cartons are empty, cut the tops off so that you have open-topped cubes. Get your young crafter to wash and dry the cartons. 3. Slip one open cube over the other like a box and lid. 4. Next, help him cover it with construction paper, gluing or taping the paper into place. 5. Now it is time to cut out the animal photos. Have him glue one on each side of the Critter Cube. 6. Let the glue dry, and then you and your child are ready to play. Did you roll a kangaroo? Then it's time for everyone to get hopping! Expand on this activity by having each player perform a different action that the animal would do. A giraffe can gallop, then stretch down low to drink, or reach up high to eat leaves. The last player to add an action to the round gets to roll the dice to figure out what animal comes next! Copyright Education.com All Rights Reserved.

6 Make a Paper Bag Puppet Cut out the parts to the puppy and tape or glue them to a paper lunch bag, and you ve got a cute puppet!

8 Plastic Bottle Animals Celebrate Earth Day by making colorful animal friends with recycled materials from around the house. This activity will spark your child's interest in DIY projects and teach her that many things we often see as trash can be re-purposed for other uses. Go on a scavenger hunt before you begin to hunt down as many recycled materials and objects as you can! What You Need: Plastic soda bottle, washed and dried Clear drying, non-toxic glue Tape Rubber band Scissors Reused household items such as old clothing, clean egg cartons, cardboard food or packing boxes, paper towel or toilet paper tubes, newspapers, or magazines Markers or tempera paint/paint brush (optional) What You Do: 1. Start by having your child pick an animal to make. Choose a favorite furry creature, or go with an animal from another country or continent. Try looking in animal books or on the Internet for inspiration. 2. Now make your animal. Have your child decorate the soda bottle with reused fabrics, cut up pieces of old newspapers or magazines, or other textured materials. Encourage her to cut the decorations into shapes that match the patterns or markings on her animal's body, then attach the decorations with glue. 3. What kind of head does your animal have? Use materials you have on hand to make a head for your animal. One idea is to use an old sock filled halfway with newspaper. Place the sock over the mouth of the bottle, then secure in place with a rubber band. 4. Help your child add legs and a tail (if your animal has one). Trimmed toilet paper/paper towel tubes or egg carton segments are good ideas for legs, and old socks make great tails. Encourage your child to be creative, using whatever materials are available to create her animal's body parts. 5. Now add ears, a face, and any other embellishments. Have her glue cut up pieces of recycled paper or cardboard to her animal's head for a face. 6. Once the constructing is done, encourage your child to decorate her animal with markers or tempera paint, if using. If you find that your animal is not standing up straight, try weighing it down with small rocks, gravel, or sand. Copyright Education.com All Rights Reserved.

17 Clothespin Animals Transform paper and clothespins into endearing animal pals with this easy and delightful DIY craft. Your child will use the animal templates to create mammals, reptiles and birds ready to ignite her imagination. What You Need: Animal clothespin template #1 Animal clothespin template #2 Scissors Regular clothespins Tiny clothespins White card stock paper Printer What You Do: 1. Help your child print out the clothespin animal templates on white card stock paper. 2. Have her use scissors to cut out each animal. 3. Explain to your child that her clothespins will be the legs for the paper animals. The regular clothespins will be for the bigger animals, and the tiny clothespins will be for the smaller ansimals. 4. Show her how to clip clothespins to the highlighted areas at the bottom of each animal. 5. Can her clothespin animals stand up? Help her adjust the "legs" until each animal can balance on its clothespins. 6. For the moveable clothespin animals, your kindergartener might need help adjusting each clothespin to make the animals bite and grab in just the right way. 7. If your child wants to get creative, let her use scissors and crayons to make trees, houses, barns and other props out of card stock. 8. Have her attach clothespins to each new prop so that they can stand up. 9. Once she has everything created, she can create a story with her clothespin animals and homemade props. Ask your child to name each of her animals before letting her figure out what adventures her new friends are about to begin. Copyright Education.com All Rights Reserved.
