Dora Barnyard Dance Game

Little dancers can take turns with the spinner and EVERYONE can dance like the animals with Dora! See more Dora Ballet Activities

Catch Dora every day on Nick & Nick Jr.

This craft requires extra parent involvement and a watchful eye, because it may require sharp tools or intricate handiwork.

Create with us skills involve self-expression, experimentation, and imagination through visual arts (like painting and sculpting), dramatic play, cooking, and dance.

Move with us skills include: gross motor (like running and dancing), fine motor (like tracing and cutting), healthy habits, and safety awareness.

Ages: 3-6

Materials

Dora Barnyard Dance Spinner
Heavy card stock or cereal box
Scissors
Drinking straw
Sticker paper
Brad fastener

Directions

STEP 1: Print the Spinner Template
Print one set of the <a href="dora-barnyard-dance-spinner.jhtml">Dora Barnyard Dance Spinner</a> onto sticker paper.
STEP 2: Stick to Cardstock
Peel off the backing of your sticker paper and adhere to heavy card stock or a cardboard cereal box. (Kids can help with this step.)
STEP 3: Cut and Attach the Pieces
Cut out the two pieces of the spinner. Punch a hole in the center of the round piece with the point of your scissors just large enough to fit in a drinking straw. Snip the drinking straw so that it sits inside the hole. Attach the arrow spinner to the game with a brad, leaving room for the spinner to move easily.
STEP 3: Choose Your Music
Now that your spinner is ready, choose your favorite barnyard music.
Step 4: Everyone Takes a Spin
Gather your group and let everyone have a turn with the spinner. When the spinner stops everyone does that barnyard dance move.
