Sun



	This project, like any project which involves tearing specific shapes out of paper, helps in developing a child's motor skills. It's also very simple and is suitable for children as young as 3 years old. Materials: 1. 1 sheet of blue construction paper. 2. 1 sheet of yellow construction paper 3. Yellow circle cutout. 4. Glue stick Place a cutout circle on a piece of blue paper.

	Ask your child if it reminds him of something. There are two likely answers: the sun and the moon. If the answer is the sun, suggest adding some “sunrays” to it. If the answer is the moon, ask “how can we make it look like a sun?”


	Show the child how he can tear thin strips of yellow paper from the edge of the yellow sheet of paper.

	Help him put glue on these strips and arrange them around the yellow circle.
