I recently read about this over at the Teach Preschool blog and I loved the idea of building on the easel. This week I covered our easel with contact paper and secured it with duct tape. I then put cups of pattern blocks on one side and cups of colored yarn on the other. The children have been exploring creating art on the sticky surfaces. They have made designs, pictures, patterns and it is only Tuesday! They are really enjoying this experience. Surprisingly only one child asked if he could take it home. Young children understand that it is about the process. They are happy to make it and take it apart and make it again. Give this a try-what else can you put on your sticky easel?

Photo Source: Lessons with Laughter Create a beautiful window display for Earth Day with this creative 'stained glass' idea featured by Molly over at Lessons with Laughter. You probably have everything you need to complete the craft with your class already at your fingertips! 'Stained Glass' Earth Day Craft Supplies Needed: Coffee filters Green and Blue markers Spray bottle of water Paper towels Black construction paper Scissors Tape Contact paper {optional} Have each of your students color a coffee filter with blue (ocean) and green (land) markers to resemble the earth. You can assign the continents you'd like for them to include, or let them choose a side of the globe! Just make sure they color in the entire filter. Then, place the colored coffee filters on a paper towel and have them spray the entire thing with water (about 6-8 squirts). Watch the colors spread and then allow them to dry. Photo Source: Lessons with Laughter While the coffee filters are drying, have your students trace and cut out a frame from black construction paper. They can then tape their 'stained glass' Earth to the back of the frame. Hang in your classroom windows for a beautiful Earth Day display! (Optional - Cover the completed projects with contact paper or laminate.)
