Arts and Crafts Kits, Convenient and Beneficial




Art provides many benefits to growing children. It’s fun and children naturally love it. 93% of Americans agree that the arts are vital to a well-rounded education.

Art fosters creative thinking which will benefit children their whole life. Because most kids enjoy making art, they can focus on it easily. This improvement of concentration transfers to other aspects of life. Through art, children learn that there is not always one right answer. This fosters self-confidence when kids create their own artwork. Drawing is a great way to expose kids to multiple points of view. Creating art actively engages both hemispheres of the brain to achieve full mental potential.

PureFUN offers a variety of Arts and Crafts Kits for your childcare center. Browse our selection for products help you capitalize on the many benefits of art.

Lacing Cards for daycares – Timeless Fun!

 

 

I do not know the history of lacing cards, but it seems like they have been a challenging and fun learning tool for children for ages. They can help a child learn colors and shapes. Lacing cards improve fine motor skills and develop early math skills. We even have one that helps children identify common clothing items worn by boys and girls. Pets and transportation are two other sets that are offered. Best of all is the child is having fun and learning is taking place – a timeless toy.

Visit us at www.purefunsupply.com to find more great ways to help teach the students at your school in fun and innovative ways.

Baggie Choices!

 

Don’t we love our zipper bags?! What did we do before the convenience of zipper bags? We use them for food, for small items that seem to multiply, for game pieces, for toy organization, to ice boo-boos, to protect precious mementos, to keep paper in place, etc, etc.

PureFUN! now offers the Ziploc Brand, as well as, the generic Zippit plastic bags. We have Ziploc sandwich size, quart size, gallon size; and the quart and gallon size even come in a freezer thickness, too.

How to choose the right paper towel for your school

There are so many different types of paper towels out there. Sometimes it is hard to choose which paper towel to provide for your daycare or childcare center. Following is a list of many popular paper towels and the facts of each type.

Multifold towels: These towels come in both brown and white. Many multifold towels and also be found in economy brands as well. Multifold towels have 2 folds and when taken out of the dispenser looks like they are folded in a Z shape.

C-fold towels: C fold towels look like they are named. They have two flaps that fold in to form a C shape fold. C-fold towels can fit in a multifold towel dispenser as well.

Single fold towels: Single fold towels come in both brown and white. Depending on your center, you will want to decide if brown or white works better. Typically white towels hold up better and absorb more moister. Single fold towels can only be used in a single fold towel dispenser. A single fold towel has one fold right down the middle.

Center pull towels: Center pull towels are great for many locations. Both our economy and regular center pull towels are perforated. You won’t have the worry about your students pulling too much down, the perforations will help your students only pull 1 at a time. Center pull towels come in white. They are a great towel for daycares.

Roll towels: Roll towels are great and can be used in manual or automatic dispensers. Roll paper towel for daycares come in white and brown and in multiple sizes. Depending on your dispensers you could choose the 8x350 roll or the 8x800 roll. Be sure to look out for how many feet come on your rolls, that way you can get the best deals!

Household roll towel: This towel works great for kitchens and cleaning. Our bulk packs of towels come with 30 rolls to the case. they are perfect to grab when you need them for a quick clean.

Fall Fruit Fun: Apple Core Craft!

Apples are fresh and plentiful in the fall and make a fun child’s craft. I especially enjoy this one with preschoolers but older children will like it as well. You need apples for the craft and I would also suggest having additional apples as a treat once the craft is complete!

Apple Core Picture

Materials Needed:

1 – 18 x 12 sheet white construction paper

1 – Scissors

3 – Shallow trays such as pie tins

3 – Colors poster paint – red, green, yellow

2 – Apples

1 – Knife to cut apple

Newpaper to protect table surface

Instructions:

Step 1 – Spread newspaper to protect your table top.

Step 2 – The white sheet is to resemble an apple. Cut about a rounded 2-3” swath on the bottom left and right corners. Cut an indentation in the middle of the bottom edge. Cut rounded curves from the left and right top corners toward the middle of the top edge, leaving a sliver for a ‘stem’. If you are making multiple ‘apple sheets’, make a template and trace your outline.

Step 3 – Cut the apples in half from the stem down.

Step 4 – Pour a small amount paint in separate tins.

Step 5 – Place an apple half face down in the paint and then place on paper; this should make an apple shape.

Step 6 – Use a different apple half for each color. Be creative in your own picture design!

The age of the child will dictate how much help and supervision is required.

Option:

Cut the apples crosswise through the middle and the resulting print will be a star!
