Learning guide
Did you know the physical elements of this make (cutting, sticking and painting) all help develop your little one's fine motor skills? While you're crafting, talk to your child about different colours in the animal kingdom. Can they group animals by colour? Why have they chosen to paint their snake that specific colour? Explaining their choices helps them learn how to express their feelings and needs.
