Make your own rainbow fish

Weaving, finger painting, printing, colouring in, cutting and gluing are all ways to develop your child’s fine motor skills.

Why not use the Christmas cards you are going to discard to make the scales for your own Rainbow Fish.

Use a cereal box to cut out a fish shape cut slots in the card where you could use leftover wrapping paper to weave in between to create your fish.

Using clothes pegs to hold cotton wool or if mums and dads have any bottle corks use these to print the scales on your fish shape.

Or using whatever you can find around the house make a mosaic fish by cutting small bits of car/paper using these to create the scales.

Home Made Bird Feeders

Here are a few different ideas on how to make different bird feeders.

We always have great fun in nursery making bird feeders and learning about taking care of the birds in winter.

An Easy and Adorable Bird Feeder for Kids to Make

Make your own bird feeder using Cheerio’s (breakfast cereal)

Thread breakfast ‘Cheerio’s’ onto string, pipe cleaners, wire, or wool. Tie the ends tightly and hang them on your fence post, tree branches or washing line.
