This is my first time to join! I hope everyone has a great 4th of July celebration....I think our little one is still too young to stay up for fireworks, so we'll be dreaming about next year (maybe)! :)
I'm contributing two items this week. #1, we went to the Eric Carle Museum in MA last Friday and had a blast. But you don't need to go to to be able to make Eric Carle collages, just a few of his books, some tissue paper, scissors, liquid starch... I have it all down on my blog for you. This is a great craft for kids of all ages... you can go further by tying it in to a day on the beach, farm, or even city!
I have also posted my Mini Hamburger... cookies! Kids can help with these cute treats that are equally as fun to meke, eat and look at!
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.
Here is another repost, we are doing bugs at preschool, so this fits right into what we are doing. I found this cute craft on the Better Homes and Garden website. My kids saw it and could not wait to make it (because it is a bug). I made some modifications to it to make it a little easier for younger kids. Do not be scared of the paint because you do not have to use it. I know paint can be messy. You will need toilet paper roll, scissors, glue, pom-poms, paint or markers or green construction paper for the body (to make the toilet paper roll green), wiggly eyes, chenille stems, green foam sheet or construction paper and a pencil. Have the kids paint the toilet paper roll green. OR you can have them color it with a marker OR just wrap it in green construction paper and glue it. While the paint is drying, I get all the pieces set up to glue on. I used foam sheets to cut out legs but construction paper will work too. For the nose, I cut a triangle out of craft ...
