Balloon Paint a Snowman- Pre School Craft

Another teacher at my school did this craft and I just love the idea. It is painting a snowman with a balloon. Cheyanne and I had so much fun doing this craft.



You will need: a balloon, construction paper,a bowl (for the paint), scissors and glue. We also used glitter.







Blow up the balloon and tie it off. Dab the end of the balloon in the paint and press it on the paper.

This should make a circle.






We sprinkled the wet paint with glitter. We used white glitter on this one and it is hard to see.

Allow paint to dry.









I cut out the pieces of the snowmen.


You could just color with markers .

Another good idea would be to get some real sticks and glue them on for arms.










Cheyanne glued on the pieces to decorate her family.










Snow Baby.













Snow Mommy


















Snow Daddy.










Cheyanne wanted to make them puppets, so I cut them out and glued them to poster board.

Cut them again and glued them on to Craft Sticks.

Super Easy Volcanos

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.

Book Chain

Scribbit's Winter Bazaar Rocks in My Dryers , Works For Me Wednesday When my daughter was learning to read, we started a book chain. Every time she read a book we added a link. She was so excited to see her chain grow. It eventually went around her room. She was always so proud. Colton is starting to read books, so we started his book chain today. He too was excited to add his links. I thought I would share this, maybe it will encourage you little ones to read. I am always looking for ways to encourage my kids to read, do you have any tips that you use? If so please let me know.
