5 Fun Ideas to Keep Preschoolers Busy While You Cook

By Holly Campbell

Here's a fun and easy craft idea for kids to capture a keepsake from a special place that your children love.

The next time you and your kid visit a new city or a trip to the zoo, bring along some white paper, a paintbrush and a crayon.

Have your child pick a texture that he would like to capture. It can be anything that is interesting to feel and touch such as a manhole cover or a plaque by a statue. Use the paintbrush to gently sweep away any dirt. Then get your kid to put the paper over the selected object.

Hold the paper firmly in place while your child rubs a peeled crayon back and forth over the paper, capturing the texture underneath.

Let your child put his name and date on paper when finished. Have fun!
