Craft Activity

Toddler chalkboard!
Chalkboards are great for practicing letters, shapes and numbers. Here's an activity for you and your toddler to make a fun toddler chalkboard, that might even turn into a gift for a relative. You'll need a craft chalkboard from a craft store that has a wooden frame. (The photo used a board that is about 7 inches by 6 inches.) Then with some neat craft scissors cut out all sorts of strips of different colored construction paper. Then take some glue and apply it to one side of the wood frame. Let your toddler put some of the strips of paper over to cover up the wood. Then move on to the next side. When you have completed all four sides, you'll have a wonderfully colored masterpiece! You can attach some string to the back to hang it on the wall if you like!
