Kid's art project?

Question

I need a really good art project to teach to my fellow cassmates (who will be posing as children). Age can be between 3 and 7 yrs. I want something fun, cool, and maybe a little crazy. This is a big part of my grade. Thanks.

Answer 1

You could make a volcaco out of modeling clay then add a mixture of bakingsoda and vinegar to produce an eruption...or the classic handprint in clay. Parent's treasure those!

Answer 4

Make bread dough clay, it's fun, non toxic, and age appropriate, you can get the recipe off the Internet.  Or you can make puffy paint which is a combination of tempra paint, shaving cream, and a little white glue.

Bread dough clay is inexpensive, fun and can be done indoors or out on a picnic table or deck. Give the kids some ideas of items they can make such as flowers, trees or other things they love. If you don't guide them they often become frustrated due to too many ideas and they can't decide! I like planning theme days where we read books on a subject, perhaps watch a movie in the related theme and then do arts and crafts afterwards. This is especially nice for rainy days.

You will need:

2 slices white bread

2 tsp. white glue

2 tablespoons water

food coloring

spray glaze or clear fingernail polish

Optional: pin back, magnets or string

Remove the crusts from the bread and discard. Working on a surface that can be cleaned easily, or use plastic trays-one for each person (foam plates are handy too). Add the glue and water to the bread and "knead" it until it isn't sticky any longer. Divide the dough into sections and add drops of food coloring to each, so you have a nice variety. Place each section in a plastic bag or container. When you are ready to use it place it in the middle of the table for the kids to share, or divide it so they each have their own. Don't work in the hot sun because the clay will dry to quickly. After they form their creations, allow them to dry overnight. When dry, they can brush them with clear nail polish, or you can spray them with a sealant. An option is to hot glue pin backs or magnets onto the art, or before drying, poke a hole with a toothpick that you can later thread string through. Kids can even make their own beads if they wish!

Answer 5

I volunteer at my son's preschool, and one of the projects that his teacher does is to make necklaces out of cereal like fruit loops, apple jacks, ect.  Take a piece of string and tie one end with a piece of the cereal ( this acts as a stopper), and then wrap some tape around the other end so it is easy to string the cereal through.  Then tell the kids to add cereal to make a necklace.  This promotes fine motor skills which is essential for developing beginning writing skills.  It is also a quiet activity that makes them focus which is good for improving their attention span.  I now do this at home with my son while I am fixing dinner insted of putting him in front of the TV.  And of course the kids love to wear or eat their necklaces.
