Thanksgiving Placemat!

Addie's Placemat

Ty's Placemat

The theme this week is Thanksgiving!

Project: Thanksgiving Placemat! Ty and Addie constructed their very own construction paper Turkeys out of pre-cut pieces. They glued the pieces to white paper. Next, I painted Ty and Addie's hands with water color paint to make a turkey. I painted each of their palms and thumbs brown, and their remaining fingers different colors. Then they each pressed their hands onto the same white paper as their construction paper turkeys. I added feet and a beak. Ty and Addie gave each of their turkey's one eye with black marker. Ty and I added letter stickers to spell Gobble, gobble. We also added leaf stickers. I wrote Gobble, gobble on Addie's paper with orange marker. We glued the white paper onto colored card stock. Finally I used Contact paper to seal/laminate the placemats! Ty was sooooo excited to use his placemat!

Materials Needed: white paper, colored cardstock, glue stick, brown, red, orange, yellow construction paper, scissors, orange marker. leaf and letter stickers, water color paints, black marker, paint brush, contact paper

Hand Print Chick!

Day 3 of the week - The theme this week is Easter. The letters of the week are A, a, K.

Project - Hand print Chick- I saw this project on the website http://www.crafts.kaboose.com/easter-chick-card.html I printed off the templates and traced the oval shape onto yellow construction paper and the legs and beak onto orange construction paper. Then, I traced Connor and Lauren's hands onto yellow construction paper and cut the hands out. Connor and Lauren cut the oval body shape, legs and beak and glued the legs onto the yellow oval body. Then, they folded the beak in half and glued one half of it onto the yellow oval, so the other half was left sticking up. They added googly eyes and I helped them attach their hand prints to the body with brad fasteners. I am going to have them write Happy Easter on the bottom part of the chick too. *I forgot to have them do this* Materials Needed - scissors, googly eyes, yellow and orange construction paper, brad fasteners.
