Stop in for a visit!

Featured Activity - Found on the Bugs page.

Butterfly Ink Blot
Cut out a butterfly shape on white paper, the shape should be symmetrical. Fold the paper in half, and ask the child to paint half of the butterfly. When the child is finished, ask him/her to press the paper halves together, so that both sides will look the same. Have the child rub the folded paper. Open the paper, and you have a butterfly with matching wings.

Welcome to the Activity Idea Place.
This website started in 1998 as part of an Early Childhood Education project called the file box. We host over 3400 activity ideas for Early Childhood Education professionals. (Well over the 100 ideas required for my class) If you would like to skip to the activities, click "Activity Index-Themes" above. I took a lot of time to come up with and write each of the activities on this page. You may not publish (i.e. websites, email, newsletters, books, etc) them in any way without my permission. Please feel free to link to the Activity Idea Place. Thank you for visiting. Chicky
