Make the Sun Rays

Make the Sun Rays

A simple activity that not only works on drawing straight line skills but also coding, measurement amongst others.

Steps

  • Draw a sun with different lengths of sun rays.
  • Assign a color code to the length. Here, I did ‘less than 3’ and ‘greater than 3’.
  • Ask the child to measure the rays using a ruler or a ruler made out of craft stick and fill it according to color code.

Benefits

  • Work on hand eye coordination.
  • Bilateral movement as the child holds the ruler steady with one hand and traces the line with the other.
  • Understand the concept of greater and less than.

Material

  • Markers
