Arts & Crafts<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

Doing arts and crafts can be a fantastic way for children to learn English. But make sure to help them with key words as you go along.<\/p>\n

Try labelling items like glue<\/em>, scissors<\/em>, or tape<\/em> to help kids learn new vocabulary. Then watch a few How-To<\/em> videos and follow the instructions on how to do things like cut<\/em>, fold<\/em> or stick<\/em>. Here are a few ideas:<\/p>\n

Colour mixing<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

For younger kids, practise mixing different paint colours to teach them about the rainbow<\/strong><\/em><\/span>. All you need are the primary colours (red, yellow and blue) to start. Then use these to make new colours!<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t have paint on hand, don\u2019t worry. Just use food colouring<\/strong><\/em><\/span> and put little droplets<\/strong><\/em><\/span> into different bowls. Afterwards, write down the names of all of the colours you\u2019ve created together.<\/p>\n
