Dot paint turkey

The 3 day class used dot paints to make a turkey on Friday.

Fork painting turkey

This week we painted with forks on a paper plate and turned it into a turkey. Unfortunately I don’t have any pictures of the kids finished projects, only my sample I made for the kids to look off of as they painted.

Christmas

I found these great Christmas resources! Activities and a list of educational Christmas presents. These are pictures, so you will need to type in the link.

Trees and leaves

Here is the hallway display! It’s made up of two projects. The leaves I mentioned in the previous post that the students easel painted a couple weeks ago. We added them to the fall trees we also created. We traced the students hand and arm to make the tree. We then used leaf shaped cookie cutters dipped in fall colored paint and stamp them on the paper to make fall leaves on the tree. Love our hallway art gallery!
