Question 7
Dear Visitors,
My center is doing Dr. Seuss week, and I
wanted to do something on The eye book. I am trying to find a craft
project and a sensory idea. Please let me know if you know any.
The Eye Book
Dear
The Eye Book,
One really fun thing you can do is
to set up your own eye doctor's office. Make the eye chart using
common shapes or objects (circle, apple, house, etc). Start with
large objects and keep shrinking them down until the last row is very
small. Make a cardboard paddle so the "patient can cover
one eye and give the "doctor" a wand to point to each
object. Find a pattern (or use a pair of child size
sunglasses to make your own pattern) to make glasses out of tagboard.
They love painting, coloring or putting on stickers to decorate their
glasses. We always do this activity the week before pre-school vision
screenings. The kids love it and are not afraid when it's time for the
real eye test!
