Preschool art activities work best when they are simple to prepare for and to make. My daughter had fun making this paper plate snowman face. I cut out the pieces, we talked about how to make a face and she glued the pieces on the plate. Take into account your child's age and skill level. They maybe able to cut out the pieces themselves.
I love crafting with my preschooler and she loves art. Preschool arts and crafts gives us great opportunities to teach many skills. But my favorite part is creating memories for my family.
Be sure to check out the teaching tips following this free kids craft idea.
Remember let your preschooler participate as much as possible. This helps them develop creativity and problem solving skills. My little one is too young to cut on a line so I cut out the pieces, but she did the gluing. Most of our project pictures are child produced so you have a better idea of what to expect.
