The Changing Jack O Lantern

Cheyanne came home from school with this project and I thought it is great. It is so easy and can be used for the youngest kids to the oldest. With the little ones they can just scribble and the bigger kids can color rainbows, stripes or patterns to change up their Jack O Lanterns.

We used: Orange construction paper cut into a Jack O lantern shape (eyes and mouth only), paper plate, scissors, crayons and brass paper fastener.

Cut the scallops off the paper plate and color it.
Place the paper plate in the middle of the back of the pumpkin and place the fastener in the middle as the nose.

Now turn the plate to change your Jack o Lantern.

I would think Wal Mart or an office supply store but I have had mine for a while so I am not sure.

Super Easy Volcanos

Image
I love this project it is so easy and only takes a short amount of prep time. Cheyanne loves making the volcano erupt. We used: plastic plate, plastic cup, aluminium foil, tape, vinegar, baking soda and red food coloring. Tape the bottom of the cup to the center of the plate. Cover with aluminium foil. Cut a hole in the center of the foil and push the edges down in the cup. Spoon in some baking soda. Pour in the vinegar. Watch it erupt.

Fall Toilet Paper Roll Tree

This is a great craft for even young children. I think it turned out so cute. You will need: Red, yellow and orange paint, scissors, toilet paper roll, and green construction paper (or card stock). Cut the green paper into the shape of the tree top. Use fingerprints dipped in the paint as Fall leaves. Cut 2 slits down, across from each other on the toilet paper roll. Slide tree top into those slits.

Father's Day Card

If you Dad is into fishing I think this would be a great Father's Day Card for the kids to make. We used: Fish Coloring Page , tissue paper or crepe paper (cut up into sqares), glue, construction paper, wiggly eye, and a marker. Glue on pieces of the tissue paper and eye to the coloring page. Cut out the fish pattern. Glue on to folded construction paper. Write," Fishing You a Happy Father's Day !!!!" Cheyanne made one for her daddy and one for God.
