kcpManager

This week, we’re working on Penguin Process Art. Remember process art is about the process not the end result!

Supplies: 

  • 1 sheet (or less) each of:
    • Black paper
    • White paper
    • Blue paper
    • Either orange or yellow paper
  • Glue stick
  • Googly eyes
  • Picture of a penguin

Instructions:

First have kiddos rip up the black, white, and yellow paper. The tearing is part of the fun and good for fine motor skills!

Look at the penguin picture together and notice their coloring. Where there is black and white and yellow? How much of each color do you see?

Have your kiddo use their glue stick to make their own penguin with the torn paper.

Use the blue paper as the background. Add googly eyes at the end.

Weekly Activity: Ice Painting – January 13, 2021

Here’s a fun, creative and easy activity for kids, perfect for those wet January days when you’re stuck inside.

Supplies:

  • Ice Cube Tray or small paper cups
  • Popsicle sticks
  • Water
  • Food coloring or Tempera paint, or liquid water color Paper for creating Towels

Instructions:

Add water to ice cube trays or paper cups then add your choice of color (as many colors as you like) use enough colorant to make a rich color before placing a popsicle stick in each and freezing over night.

Set up a space for your kiddo to work with paper and towels.

The paint cubes will take a few minutes to thaw enough to move smoothly over the page and the texture will change with time.

Let you little one explore! Take a picture when you are done!
