Putting our Easel to Use

Sometimes I find activity ideas on Pinterest for the kids, and after all the prep work find that they are not really into it. So, when I find something that keeps their interest, I love to share! Below is an idea that my three big kids keep going back to (including one of my 2 1/2 year olds who has about a 20 second attention span). All you need to do is tape contact paper (sticky side out) to an easel or even wall. Cut various shapes out of construction paper. The kids create a design on the contact paper using the shapes.  When they are finished they can take their design down and another child can make a new one! I have had the contact paper out for about a week and its still working great!
