A fun craft activity for toddlers and preschoolers is stamping with toilet rolls. From the rolls you first make various shapes together with the children, so they learn the shapes. After that, they can put paint on a saucer or a piece of aluminum foil themselves (don't get too much, you can always pick up, tell it's a shame if you take too much and don't use it). Of course also name the colors, that's how they learn the colors:)

Then they can stamp on a nice large (colored) sheet, which soon becomes real cheerful children's art, you know! These 4 pictures have been sent in by guest parent Kim Veenstra, she tells that the children love to skimp with paint.
