An edible art project would be to make spider cookies. Get some cookie dough and give them a spoon full. Have them insert pretzel sticks for legs, ice them with chocolate icing and give him chocolate chip eyes... I did this with my three year olds and they loved it! they thoroughly enjoyed eating their art for snack.

Answer 7

Four-year-olds are full of creativity and fun. Here are some ideas to use that don't cost a lot of money. All you need is some butcher paper and essentials like markers. Sometimes the simplest crafts work best. Assemble a good supply of craft materials and let them have free time to create their own vision rather than telling them to make a certain thing a certain way. This stimulates their creativity and inventiveness.

Answer 9

How about some simple wood shop activities? Before you talk about how unsafe that is, Lowes has such programs, even for the 3 and 4 year olds. They use hammers, nails, screws, screwdrivers, sand paper and glue. My friend's daughter made a car, a couple of airplanes, a boat, and a bunch of other things. Everything was pre-cut, though. She was only 4 at the time. Requires careful, adult supervision, of course but, perfectly safe.

Have them practice hammering and nailing first on a scrap piece of wood or something. Have them do this until they master how to do it. Then, have them do some very simple projects. Build a simple box with 5 pieces of pre-cut wood. Have them glue and nail the sides together then, attach a bottom with glue and nails. Another idea would be a bird house or a little shelf. You may also get ideas from Lowes, Home Depot, a craft store, or a hobby shop.

Answer 10

i would say making a picture to give to their parents

Answer 11

I did this with a group of preschoolers that I work with. I got the idea from Marshalls, they had valentines that were in the shape of fortune cookies. So I made more in different colors and let the students write a message in them and give them to their parents. The foam is small circles about 3.5 - 4.5 inches and we would pinch them in the middle then squeeze them to look like fortune cookies.

Answer 12

Pasta necklaces and bird feeders always go down well in my nursery

My 4 year old class loves putting a bunch of marbles, three or four different paint colors and paper in a bin and shaking it up!! It makes some really cool looking "splatter-type" art and it's a lot of fun for them to do!
