IS IT SPRING?

One week art project for toddlers

Supplies:

- Light green construction paper

- brown construction paper

- cotton swabs

- brown crayons

- Pink Watercolor or pink bingo dauber

- Dark green construction paper

- Pink and/or yellow construction paper

First day :

We ripped some brown paper, encouraging and demonstrating to make long strips.

Then I gave my students a light green sheet of construction paper and a glue stick (helping them a little along the way). Then I gave them a handful of cotton swabs and a brown crayons after I demonstrated to color the middle of them.

Then I spread some glue line around the tree trunk and instructed them to place the swabs on top and press for a few seconds.

Then my assistant helped them to dab a pink bingo dauber on each end of the swabs.

Second day:

I gave them the choice between a pink or yellow little square of construction paper and showed them, one by one, how to fold it in a 🔺️ then in a tulip by folding up the two lower corners. They were not able to do it but it gave me the opportunity to talk about square and triangle and pink and yellow. I gave them a glue stick and asked them to spread a line of glue where they wanted the flower to be on their picture. I gave them a stem that I cut out in advance and instructed to put on top of the glue and tap tap tap. Then I put more glue on top of the stem and prompted to put the tulip (that I ended up folding) on top of the stem (again here's an opportunity to use new words).

They loved doing it, next we drew birds.

Oups! I don't know what happened to the tulip head 😀
