Waiting is Not Easy Activity

“Waiting is not Easy” Craft Activity for Homeschoolers!

Engage your little ones’ creativity and patience with our craft inspired by the beloved children’s book, “Waiting is not Easy” by Mo Willems. This activity will spark their imagination and teach them the valuable lesson of patience.

In this craft, your kindergarteners will have the opportunity to explore the concept of waiting by drawing a picture of something they have to wait for, such as a birthday party or a visit from a friend.

But the fun doesn’t stop there! Your child will then construct a miniature fence using popsicle sticks, creating a boundary around their drawing. This simple yet effective structure serves as a symbol of anticipation, building excitement for the awaited event.

The real magic happens when they balance foam balls on top of the popsicle sticks. As they gently place each ball, their patience will be put to the test. How long can they keep the balls balanced before they topple over? This engaging challenge encourages perseverance, concentration, and fine motor skills development—all while instilling the valuable life skill of patience.

Our “Waiting is not Easy” craft activity is specifically designed for homeschool parents seeking innovative and enriching educational experiences for their children. It seamlessly combines literature, creativity, and fine motor skill development, making it a perfect addition to your homeschool curriculum.

Not only will this craft activity captivate your child’s imagination, but it will also provide you, as a parent, with an opportunity to discuss the importance of waiting and the rewards it brings. Foster a deeper understanding of delayed gratification while creating cherished memories together.

Unlock your child’s imagination, instill patience, and promote skill development with our “Waiting is not Easy” craft activity. Make waiting a joyful and educational experience for your little ones.
