Turkey Rolls

This project was a little time consuming if you are working with Pre-K. They are still learning how to cut so for this project I cut most of it and they glued it on.

The materials that need to be cut is:

  • Two white circles (eye balls)
  • Two small black circles (Pupils)
  • One orange diamond (beak)
  • One red tear drop (Gobble)
  • Paper towel roll, cut in three to make three turkeys.
  • Two orange stripes (legs)
I had the kids first make the feathers by using a coffee filter. They used eye droppers and liquid water coloring to make the warm color tie die. Let them dry.
While that drys you take the roll and glue on the pieces. USE ELMER'S LIQUID GLUE!! The glue sticks do not hold!
Then I used tack glue and glued the roll body to the dried coffee filter feather.

November Bulletin Board

November Bulletin Board
 
This came out sooooo good! I had the body of the turkey made and then cut out  feather shapes from white card stock. I had each kid bring them home and with a little discription for the parent, decorate the feather. The amazing things I had! As you can see I had feathers with glitter to marshmellows! This was so great and it looked soo good on the board. Really fun!!

Peit Mondrian Lines and Squares





 

 

Piet Mondrian Square Men!

 
Primary colors and Shapes! Just after working with lines we put them on first...then I had them put on the squares with the arms and legs on...they put the square men together first. We did three square men...each of them a primary color. They added eyes and a smile and then BAM ! This was fun and they got to learn about Mondrian art!

Fall Bulletin Board Idea

 
This was great to show color mixing! I had the kids stick their hands out. I painted one hand with red, then had them stamp their hand on the paper. Then I painted their other hand yellow, had them stamp it on the paper. I then put a dab of yellow and red in both hands then told them to rub their hands together and tell me what they got. They all screamed Orange!! It is good for them to remember back on too! Then I had them stamp both their hands on the paper. I took on of their prints and put their names on it. It was real cute. This is perfect time too cause we were talking about leaves and colors!
