I just love this color changing flowers science experiment! It is really easy to do and the kids love watching the flowers change color. We think it is the perfect science activity for spring! I even created printable recording sheets that kids in preschool and early elementary can use to show their observations.

TUTORIAL FOR LIZARD HEAD HERE http://www.elementaryartfun.blogspot.com/2013/05/catching-up-lots-of-fun-stuff.html I have been so busy lately and have hardly had time to blog. Thank you so much for the Versatile blogger awards. I will eventually get some time to reciprocate! I appologise! I really appreciate all my readers and your sweet sweet comments. I have two high maintenence toddlers at home that keep me on my toes! We have been doing so many things in here and I need to catch up and bring my camera this week to update the latest. Here are some things from a few weeks ago… These cubes are so easy to make and you can be so creative with what they put inside. Some kids put an alien inside, some made flowers, animals, tvs, and some made it into a giant robot head Ok this made my day. Today I had a parent tell me that they were on their way to the zoo and saw a painting of Van Gogh outside the art museum and the child said, “Look mommy, it’s Vincent Van Gogh!” It made the two weeks of yellow paint stains on my pants completely worth it!! Shout out to Artolazzi! Jenny Bartolazzi, you are a genius! Your ideas impress me and your posts never disappoint. I am so glad you blog so I can copy you! My kids are so happy with their chameleons because of you. I love the candid picture I caught of a student snuzzling up to her chameleons as though they were made out of velvet and purred like kittens!! You can find step by step instructions for these chameleons on her blog here: http://artolazzi.blogspot.com/2011/04/3-d-lizard-directions.html My kids used the same steps as we used on the bunny head to make the chameleon head They LOVED them. We watched these videos first, some of the other classes gave theirs sun glasses Some kids even made a cube cage for their Chameleons and I gave a prize to the one who could spell chameleon first! AND I will conclude with a random photo from one of my recent newborn photoshoots that has nothing to do with elementary art! This also keeps me busy! Is she not the cutest thing God ever breathed life into! www.shelbyjunephotography.com She makes my ovaries hurt!
We started the year with a new idea for our Language Arts. We are doing themes this year, which I just LOVE! We started out the year with Kevin Henkes. {More will be coming soon about that! I have a packet created, it just needs the finishing "TPT" touches when I can find the time...} I quickly realized that my kiddos were having a difficult time with the words "Character" and "Setting." I whipped these up and the kids had a blast! You can pick up a copy of these activities on the For Fans Only Tab on my FB page! We group sorted picture cards. I made a set for each table. The kids had a great time discussing and working together. It was the first "group" activity I had them do! To assess all the learning, I created these cards to hang around the room. The students got to use clipboards and go to each numbered card and circle whether it was Character or Setting. They did such a fabulous job for their first time! I think I only had a handful that were circling the same thing over and over, even though they were telling me the right answer! lol I actually created 20 cards. We did 1-10 the first day. On the back I copied my page for students to draw a character and draw a setting. Here's a closeup of the worksheets: The next week, I put up 11-20 and they walked around again circling. They did a MUCH better job this time and were super speedy! :) Click on the picture to go to my FB page to grab it! Hope you enjoy it! :)
