7 small learning sections.

When making craft the pertains to a small child's interest in the outcome with the small children around you can easily become a learning session.


For instance while making a paper plate Christmas tree six main learning skills are occurring

• skills - fine motor, 
• counting,
• identification of 'small, medium, and large
• occupational health and safety
• being part of a team
• memory recall.
• creative dialogue

Have the child identify the largest section of the tree while it is being decorated and created. Once the largest section is done move through the sections onto the smallest section.

When made and dry discreetly write on the back the names of the participants and the date.


Each year when this tree is being used the flash backs through the years are added to.  Encourage the flash backs and stories to be told. Point out how to move a negative into a positive telling of the story.


Next year add another tree to the collection. Repeat all the processes.
