Crayon shavings
Crayon Shaving hearts ! This could be a fun Valentine's Day craft, or you could do different shapes for different holidays/ seasons. You basically get crayon shavings, put them between wax paper, and iron it to melt it and it sticks together, I assume! Then you can make it a card, or punch a hole in it and hang it up from the ceiling, makes for excellent art! So fun! Wish I could bring an ironing board to school. lol

Outdoors
Make your own sidewalk paint

Paintbrushes

Snail
This is where the idea came from.
Craft supplies you will need:
- Paper plate
- Tissue paper
- Construction paper/Cardboard (+ color it in)
- Glue
- Black marker
- Googly Eye
- Scissor
- Glue
Craft instructions:
Have the children draw a spiral on the paper plate (the bottom of the plate)
Have the children cut the tissue paper into square and rectangle pieces.
Then, have the children draw and then cut out a snail’s body from construction paper.
Next, have the children glue the tissue paper to the snail’s shell (paper plate).
Once done, have the children glue the paper plate (shell) to the snail’s body.
Lastly, have the children glue on the googly eye.
And, voila, the children now have their very own Paper Plate Snail!
Food Fun
Milk Art - This doesn't really make sense to me how it would not just be liquidy, or what to do with it after you smear it but man it sure is pretty!!
Puffy Paint
Puffy Paint
Ghost Cookies! - These would be for the kids, not necessarily for them to make haha.
I got this idea from Mrs. Kell one of the K4 teachers at my school. This is the best picture I could find, but hers were cuter.
You need:
mini vanilla wafers
chocolate frosting
Hershey chocolate kisses
pretzel sticks
You put frosting on the bottom of the vanilla wafer and stick a chocolate kiss on there.
Then you put a tiny bit of frosting on the top of the wafer and put a broken piece of pretzel for the top.
Really cute and yummy!
Recipes I won't make by myself:
Autumn Ideas
This website has given me some fun fall ideas, and has many things for kids to do.
Big Leaf Painting
Thanksgiving Turkey - I obviously am not gunna buy all this felt for 20 something kids, but I was thinking we could do this with construction paper. My kindergarten and first graders love to cut and glue. The template is here and could easily be used on colored paper!
Paper Pumpkins - They call this easy but it looks kinda complicated. I'd have to make my own first before deciding to try it with my kids.
paint with q-tips |
or punch holes from construction paper and glue the holes on the corn |
TP roll tree - looks easy enough!
Leaf People- how cute is this?!
Tree - this would take a LOT of paint...
Family Tree - adorable... and kids love talking about their families!
Leaf Animals - This is cute but may be harder than it looks.
TP roll turkey - this looks fun! I think kids would love it. Gluing onto the TP roll could be hard, as well as coming across enough TP rolls.
