For this art activity the children first selected a clothes pin and with the teacher's help attached a pipe cleaner to make antennae. Next the teachers helped the children fold a coffee filter and put it inside the clothes pin. The children used eye droppers to apply watered down paint to their butterfly's wings.
We gave the children ladybug shaped paper, different colors of tissue paper, black paper circles, eyeball stickers, and glue for this activity. The children glued on the tissue paper and black circles, then added the eyeball stickers to make their ladybugs.
For this activity we put rubber worms in a container of dirt. We gave the children shovels and numbered cups. The children used the shovels to find the worms. They had to count out the correct number of worms to put in each cup. 5 worms in the #5 cup, 10 worms in the #10 cup, etc...
On this day the kids made spider webs. We gave them white paint, black paper, marbles, glitter and a large box top. The kids put their paper inside the box top. Next they dipped their marbles in the white paint and moved the box back and forth. The marbles traveled over the black paper to create a spider web. The children sprinkled glitter over the paint to make more eye catching.
