The DIY animal track stamps are a fun and educational project for your animal-loving kids!
This is one pet that I can love.... the fur-free, on-the-paper kind! Since I'm allergic to all things furry, including the hypo-allergenic breeds, this is as close as my kids can get to having a dog in the house. This week we're sharing fun preschool activities with a pet theme! Super fun! And no pooper scooper needed. This dog house shape game for preschoolers is perfect for kids who are just starting to learn about shapes. We chose to focus on three shapes, so that we could pay close attention to the names of those shapes. Shiloh is starting to independently name a few shapes, so I wanted to give her some additional practice, but not overwhelm her with too many shapes at one time.

Kids will love this daily dose of creativity and teachers - you’ll love all the ways you use these pages! Designed for the classroom teacher, this product serves as a valuable resource in enhancing your curriculum, while providing students a creative outlet, and presenting you with a unique and insightful tool for assessment. As an elementary school art teacher for over 20 years, I can attest to the significance of adding student artwork to your arsenal of assessment. It truly can highlight important information about your students, assisting you in your effectiveness as a teacher. This product includes 20 April “picture prompts.” All you need are drawing/coloring materials such as pencils, ruler, markers, colored pencils, crayons - and you’re good to go. In this April pack, the prompts reference Earth Day, National Poetry Month, positive and negative space, symmetry, cartooning, Van Gogh’s “Starry Night,” shape, line, design, imagination, outer space, nature, animals and more. Each page provides just enough visual and written information to get your students engaged, informed and started. The length of time to complete each activity will vary and the level of difficulty varies slightly as well. That said, the activities are designed to suit a broad age group, with many open ended activities. *ALL the pages are created to give your students a sense of pride and success at the end. Please check out the Preview to see the remainder of the pages you don’t see here. As a classroom teacher, the versatility of these pages are ideal. Many activities were created specifically as educational supplements to your social studies, language arts and math curriculum. For example, consider Cow Symmetry and Quadrilateral Kites in a math unit. Have Lightning Bolt Logo, Rain Boot Design and Umbrella Face on hand during your weather studies, for your fast finishers. You'll find unique Earth Day options, and language arts activities such as Mushroom Shelter and Poetry Illustration. Integrating an art element into your themes can provide a balance that many students require to stay motivated. Reinforce all the new vocabulary they will learn. Supply additional materials and resources to expand the depth of the activity - or keep it simple. All the pages, once completed, make beautiful, seasonal bulletin boards and displays that you’ll always have on hand. They’re great for class projects, centers, fast finishers, homework, extra credit, incentives and bad weather days. Please note that although the product was created for the classroom teacher, ART TEACHERS will find this a perfect pack of lessons for sub days. Gifted, struggling, introverts, extroverts, special needs – ALL kids benefit from having art in their lives. These original picture prompts will surely put a smile on your students’ faces, and possibly spark a few new ideas for you as well!

We did this tiger print shaving cream marbling art project/craft during our Orange week in the Color of the Week Exploration Series. Shaving cream marbling is a really easy fun and cheap way to make amazing and truly unique art work! We did this last week and made a ZEBRA, so I thought a tiger would be perfect for orange week! Simply spread a thin amount of shaving cream onto a surface such as a cookie sheet or thick paper plate. Drop some food coloring onto the shaving cream and then use something such as a cotton swab or end of a paintbrush to swirl the food coloring around on the shaving cream. Since we were doing a tiger, I mixed red and yellow in a little bowl first to make orange and then used a dropper to drop the color on the shaving cream. We mixed that in the shaving cream first and then dropped some black food coloring on next, and then let L make lines by dragging the food coloring up and down with a cotton swab. Neat huh?! Then you simply lay a sheet of paper on top and smooth and press a bit to transfer the print. Afterwards, you carefully peel it off the shaving cream and set it aside for a few minutes so the coloring can set. Then you can use something such as the back straight edge of a butter knife to gently scrape the shaving cream off of the paper and you'll be left with an awesome print! Let it dry completely. Then, similar to our Zebra, I used printed and cut out THIS tiger outline to trace on the back of our tiger marbled paper and then cut it out. After seeing how cool our Zebra shaving cream marbling craft turned out, I decided to craft this one up quite a bit so I could frame and hang both the Zebra and Tiger in the boys room. We used construction paper and craft foam to make a jungle for our tiger. L helped with some of the cutting and pasting. We loved how it turned out! Can't wait to frame it!
