Tissue Foil

Students glued tissue paper onto tin foil.  Once it was dry, they ripped the foil in strips and pieces and glued onto black paper.

Penguins!

I did these penguins with pre-k and kindergarten, changing them slightly for each grade.  For pre-k, the kids used white crayon to draw lines all over white paper.  They then painted with blue watercolor to make the white crayon show up.  Kindergarten used a texture plate and white crayons instead of just drawing lines.  After they created the background, they cut out ovals for the penguins.  They turned out really cute.

Warm and Cool Sailboats

For my Autism class, I folded paper in half.  They painting half orange/red and then flipped the paper over and painted the other half blue.  Using the end of the paintbrush they scratched "waves" into the blue paint.  Using shapes, they created their sailboats.

Recycled Cardboard Flowers

Pretty flowers made from recycled toilet paper rolls.  Painted, with tempera, glue and tissue paper.

Snowy Day Snowmen

The day before winter break, I decided to do a winter themed activity. I had a ton of clear overheads, so the kids used q-tips to dot "snow" all over them. They then drew snowmen using oils pastels/crayons and cut paper. I taped the snow over top of their snowmen, so they can lift it up, or put it down to make it snow.
