admin — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 14:12:15 +0000

You will need:

A large piece of white paper

Red, green and brown paint

Paint brushes

Take a child’s hand and put brown paint on it half way up the arm. Put the arm and hand down on the paper and lift up very carefully. You will have a tree trunk made from the arm and limbs made from the hand and fingers.

The children can now paint on leaves using green paint.

Next the children will use red paint to paint apples on their tree with their finger prints.

The children can go another step if they want and use their green paint to put grass around the tree and the red paint to put apples on the ground that has fallen from the tree.

To make a dinosaurs egg you will need a balloon, glue paste made from flour and water, strips of newspaper, paint brush and brown paint.

First you blow up the balloon the tie it so the air will not come out.

Nest you take strips of newspaper and dip them into the glue mixer and put on the balloon until it is all covered.

After you have enough newspaper on the balloon to cover it very well you let it dry and after it is dry you bust the balloon leaving the egg hollow inside.

Paint the egg with the paint using the paint brush and you how have a dinosaur egg.

Children love to make these dinosaurs eggs and it is a great craft at Easter time for the children to make.

If you are studying about dinosaurs in your lesson plan this is a great art activity for the children.

1 wide craft stick

6 pom poms What ever color you want. I have many caterpillars and some are yellow, red, green, black or blue.

2 google eyes the large size is better but it depends on the size of your pom pom.

glue.

Put a little glue on the pom pom and then put the pom pom on the stick. After you have all six pom poms on then put some glue on the back of the eyes and put them on the first pom pom.

If you want you can cut two small pieces of pipe cleaner sticks and glue to the first pom pom just above the eyes.

Now if you want them to go all over the refrigerator you can put some magnetic tape on the back of the craft stick.

These are so cute and the children and you will love making them.
