October Fun

Color Mixing
We used red and yellow finger paints for color mixing. We used the shape of a pumpkin on our finger paint paper.


Indian Corn Painting
This was fun but very messy. The Indian corn did not make a very good print like we anticipated. Next time we will try using fresh corn and maybe get better results.

Glitter Webs
Borrowed from a project we prepared for another group. We used white pencil on black paper to trace out a web. Students then traced with glue and sprinkled on glitter. After drying we attached a spider made out of pipe cleaners.

Felting
We were attempting to make orange felt balls that would later be decorated as pumpkins. The balls turned out wonderfully but unfortunately we ran out of orange wool before too many pumpkins could be created. Everyone was really please with their creation. Here is a students felting his wool in the water/soap solution.


Monster Puppets
After reading "Go Away Big Green Monster", we created our own monster puppets. We used various shapes of colored construction paper and arranged them on our paper bags. It was fun for students to identify shapes and which ones should be used for various facial parts.
