Changing a regular craft activity to a French learning activity

As a parent, I'm sure your kids are doing crafts everyday, either coloring, painting, drawing or my daughter's favorite cutting and pasting. One thing I do is turn these activities into a time when I teach my kids French. We learn whatever words we need to do the activities in French. And with any craft activity there are colors, so you can always reinforce those if you like.

Some good craft vocabulary for teaching your children French are:

to draw - dessiner
to cut - couper
to color - colorer
to paint - peindre
to have fun - s'amuser
