though the wampanoag indians who were involved in the first thanksgiving did not live in teepees teepees are associate with indians in general and thanksgiving is a time of year we talk about native americans so i thought it was an appropriate time of year to share this activity idea it is simple you take a tortilla roll it into a cone then secure with a toothpick you then let your child paint and decorate it it is fun and a novel item to paint you could add some history to the activity by studying the plains indians and teepees and share the knowledge with your child as you paint posted by valerie plowman at 1 00 am 0 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels art native americans thanksgiving wednesday october 19 2011 halloween fun face painting i remember one time as a child standing in line for over an hour to get my face painted that is dedication children seem to love to get their faces painted now i am no artist you can however easily paint fun holiday themes if you break down the picture into simple shapes take the jack o lantern pictured above a simple orange blob some black eyes nose and mouth and a green stem and you are done i didn t make that though my sister in law did and she is an artist here we have a spider web you have a white web made from drawing various lines you then have black spider which is made from drawing a couple of circles and some legs finally we have a simple ghost a white oval ish with some black eyes and nose there are a few different types of paints that people often use for doing face paints the first is a simple crayon or pencil i haven t tried these but a youth group at my church does face paints every year at the halloween party and they seemed to think they were not as easy as paint which makes sense to me you then have actual face paint my sister in law just uses normal old acrylic paint try this out with your children you can do it for any holiday sporting event or even just something fun to do along with your weekly theme posted by valerie plowman at 1 00 am 1 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels art halloween holidays wednesday september 28 2011 paper plate apple plus fine motor bonus so this is my other fun activity from kaitlyn s preschool class i wanted to share it is a paper plate apple with a fine motor activity you could do one or the other or both together the paper plate apple is a very simple craft you paint the paper plate the color you want it then you cut out and glue a green leave to the top you could also add a brown stem children love to paint you could also color it or do cheating paint and paint with do a dots if i want to do paints but don t have the patience for paints we use do a dots the other is a worm fine motor writing activity there are simply pictures of worms a dotted line for the path the worm took then the apple the worm ate you could find pictures of worms on the internet then find pictures of apples on the internet copy them and put them into a word document then make dotted lines or you could print the little pictures cut them out and paste them onto a page and draw the dotted lines yourself or you could just draw the whole thing i am not artist but lately i have come to prefer that method then it turns out how my head wants it to but i do check the internet first in case someone has previously stolen the image from my head and kindly put it on the internet first you then have the child color the pictures and trace the dotted like this builds fine motor control for preparing for handwriting you can see these lines kaitlyn did get harder to do and you can see how her top lines are perfect and bottom lines are not good practice posted by valerie plowman at 1 00 am 0 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels apple art fine motor skills preschooler toddler wednesday august 17 2011 watermelon

water has been drawn painted start adding details we added shells collected from a previous vacation spread glue on the bottom we used fingers and sprinkle w sand add glitter to wet paint glue for a sparkly effect use pom poms for anemone collected sticks for seaweed or ribbon pipe cleaners etc make fish out of construction paper to glue down or use fish stickers finally stretch out some cotton balls for clouds the idea is to use as many sensory touch and feel items as possible dig around drawers craft boxes and see what could substitute for items under the sea if i d had green streamers i would have added those for sea weed for young children make a small version yourself and let your child touch it and talk about how it feels scratchy rough smooth cool soft etc posted by raegan at 12

this is a simple activity that your children will love for earth day this friday your children will love it because children love painting age range this is something children of all ages can do if you have a baby you can help your baby do this and i would suggest finger paints supplies earth coloring page print out i used this one http parenting leehansen com downloads coloring misc earth color gif paint of choice you can do finger paints tempera paints water colors whatever you want to the photo above was done with water colors by brayden age 5 kaitlyn 3 going on 4 did both finger paints and tempera paints mckenna just turned 2 did finger paints paper plate for holding paint if doing water colors you will need a small cup of water paintbrushes if needed optional tablecloth and paint shirts also a paper towel for each child will help keep things cleaner set up set up table cloth set papers out and prep paint by pouring onto paper plates put paint shirts on children activity tell your children you will be painting the earth today you can either direct or let them choose their paint of choice i let the older two choose but chose for mckenna talk about what parts are water and what parts are land then talk about what colors each part are for the older children i suggest you require they paint the land and water the correct colors kaitlyn is my ever artistic child and she wanted to do some unique colors but this was an activity to learn about the earth there are times to do creativity with your own imagination taking over but it is also important for children to be able to identify reality too for older children you could even take this a step further and add in the other colors of browns and reds you can see on the earth and put them in the right place this would add a nice geography aspect to the activity here are the finished products from left to right mckenna s 2 kaitlyn s almost 4 brayden s 5 posted by valerie plowman at 1 00 am 0 comments email
