DLTK's Holiday Activities
Shapes Angel Craft

This is a simple craft that toddlers and preschoolers can easily make.

I didn't make a template for this craft as the shapes are so easy to cut out.

If you want to make it with older children, you can have them draw on a face and glue on some wool hair.  Or use wiggly eyes instead of drawn eyes

MATERIALS:

• triangle of construction paper
• circle of construction paper
• circle of white paper or a paper doily
• glue
• OPTIONAL:  glitter glue, sequins or sparkles

INSTRUCTIONS:

• Decorate the triangle of construction paper with glitter glue, sequins, sparkles, or markers
    
• Fold doily in half and glue it together..
    
• Glue doily to the back of the triangle
    
• Glue circle to the top of the triangle (see photo).
    
• When going through the craft, you can ask the kids to point to the triangle and point to the circle.
  • ask whether the doily circle or the construction paper circle is bigger
  • ask whether the triangle or the circle is bigger (this is a tougher question as the shapes are different).
  • when they fold the doily, point out that it is now HALF a circle.
