Heart Painted Plates

Updated: Jul 22

SUPPLIES

Clear Plastic Recyclable Plates (we bought ours at Walmart)
Iridescent Glitter Glue
Acrylic Paint
Assorted Paint Brushes (you can add any type of grip etc. As needed to work on griping skills)-(We used triangle grip brushes)

PROCEDURE

To enhance sequencing, have written/ picture direction for your child to follow
Flip the clear plate over and make a heart out of the glitter glue. When dry, it will give a good tactile boundaries.
Next, place paints on the child’s non-dominant side to encourage crossing midline
Feel free to get creative with the child’s position to complete this project (kneeling, on tummy, sitting on t-stool/ball etc., or standing at a slant table, etc.
Paint one coat of paint in a chosen color with paint brush or finger paint
When dry, paint a second coat and repeat if needed
Continue with as many plates as desired
When all paint is dry, flip them right side up!
Wrap up the plates and give as a gift.
Plates can be used for a Valentine meal or snack with your family, classroom, or favorite friend
