Paper Mosaic

This is an easy way to introduce kids to mosaic art.  Cut strips of construction paper and have the kids cut squares and glue it to a large sheet of paper.

Hang up your beautiful mosaic to brighten any space!

Earth Day Art

Happy belated Earth Day!  Here is a fun and easy way to make Earth with your kids....props to my co-worker Abby!

All you need is coffee filters and watercolors.  It is also a great way to discuss the colors of the world seen from afar.

Recycled Can Planters: Earth Day Project

During our recycling unit, we reused cans to plant marigolds.  It was a time for the kids to get messy and learn about planting.

I told the kids the only rule was for them to get messy, so they had to scoop out the dirt!

Give them a few seeds.  This is also a great time to discuss how different seeds look.

Time to get dirty!  Have them scoop dirt with their hands to cover the seeds.

Make sure to water them good!
