Today’s art activity is a fun 3-D art activity. It is so easy to get stuck on the things that you can do on paper, and there are so many cool 3-D activities that you can do!
The day before or morning of, mix up a batch of baking playdough. If you have a favorite recipe, by all means, use it. If not, just mix together 2 cups of salt, 2 cups of warm water, and 5 cups of flour. When ready to bake, just bake at 300 for an hour.
Provide materials for your students to make bat or Halloween-themed creations (such as Halloween cookie cutters)….but don’t make them use them. Let this be their creation! If they want to make a puppy….let them make a puppy. If they want to make a blob, let them make a blob! After everyone has made their sculpture, bake them. I like to put a square of waxed paper with each child’s name or initials on the cookie sheet for them to put their sculpture on. You will paint the sculptures tomorrow!
For a fine motor activity today, have the students cut out a large pattern of a bat (or pre-cut the pattern for students who are not able to do it themselves). Give them a variety of collage materials in brown and black to paste onto the bat. Some ideas are paper, felt, beads, bits of cloth, and Oreo Os cereal (check child care licensing rules).
