Projects for kids...?

Question

in my child development class we have to find a project to do for kids in the ages of 4-6...help i don't know what to do!!! awww

Answer 1

give them each a bunch of materials (popsickle sticks, cotton balls, glue, tape, markers, glitter, ....) and let them go nuts, see what each one can make using the materials provided. Let loose creativity!!!

Answer 2

run a pizza shop! or a bakery! what are the kids interests? a bakery is the easiest. Direct kids interest and questions to where we get cookies. how they are made. and just go from there. as a final end to the project, have the kids (cashiers) sell cookies to other classes (a bake sale!). (we just iced vanilla cookies, easy quick and cheap)(we charged a penny per cookie). (the kids did make and frost there own cookies which were in a 'display rack'. I would never eat or sell one of those!) You can invite a cake decorator to visit the class and demonstrate frosting cookies. make baker hats, use you imagination! a bakery will teach skills in all content areas! all developmental levels! for a pizza shop, we used those cheapy biscuit rolls at the store. they split in half, and we just added a dollup of pizza sauce, a sprinkle of cheese, and a pepperoni (on some)(or bacon bits). sold those for a quarter.

Answer 3

you can do a project involving how water turns to ice, snow, steam, this is a good time of year for that since it is winter show how it forms, melts, boils into steam etc...they could go out get snow put water in a freezer over nite those kind of things. kids like to be hands on this way they could feel the difference in the way water changes.

Answer 4

a fun and relatively cheap project...go to your local dollar general or cheap store grab a few assorted sizes, rubber maid storage containers. let them paint, decorate with popsticks-papers-pictures-stickers, whatever you have nearby. you can make clean up time a little more interesting that way. i did it with the kids. let them pick teams for certain objects, crafts, toys, shoes etc. they decorated their bin for their team job, at cleanup time they all knew exactly what to do and how and who should be helping who. its also good for teaching to work well with others.  have fun with it
