Aloha!!! The month of November is upon us and we have been having a great time with some simple but fun crafts. We started the month with some colorful leaf drawings. I was inspired by a Pinterest find from Art Projects For Kids. I gave the kids some leaves to look at and we talked about the symmetry. They sketched out their leaves and traced with a sharpie. They filled in each section with a design using crayons. Then they painted each a section a different color. I let them use whatever colors they wanted to, so it was a bit brighter than your usual fall colors. But I thought they turned out beautifully! We also made some Thankful Turkeys. The students traced a circle for the body, 4 feathers and they drew out the head and feet with some guidance from me. They came out pretty cute as well. This week we learned about the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag. We read both articles in our Scholastic News showing what it was like in 1620 for both of them. My students really loved the video on the Wampanoag way of life. You could have heard a pin drop as they watched it. So I decided to have them make a wetu. Materials: 1- 1 1/2 x 18 inch strip for the base 4- 1x12 inch strips for the dome 2-3 sheets of tan colored paper Just glue all the pieces together to make the dome. Then tear and paste the light colored paper in layers. Once it is dry, use a brown crayon to draw lines for the bark. Don't forget to cut a hole for the door. My class really did a great job with these and they are dying to take them home to share with their families. I hope you are enjoying this crazy month with some fun activities of your own! Tomorrow is our annual Turkey Trot and we are making No Bake Pumpkin Pie in the afternoon. It should be an awesome day! Mahalo for stopping by and I hope you and your loved ones have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

Looking for some fun and unique summer crafts to do with the kiddos? Me too! School is almost over and I've got summer crafts on my mind! Today I'm sharing this fun twist on a God's Eye weaving craft. (Remember collecting sticks and making those in summer camp?) But, instead of making the traditional 2 stick version, we recently made a fun 3 stick version.... that also happens to look like a tiny baby turtle! (Aww, aren't they cute? My preschooler was in looove with these.) Weaving Cute Baby Turtles Using God's Eye Weaving Pattern This post contains affiliate links. Thank you for your support! For my full disclosure policy, click here. Usually I have a ton of related picture books to share.... but apparently we don't read very many turtle-themed books! (Know of any good ones?) The only ones that I can remember us reading (and liking) are the Franklin books. But, if you're looking for some great inspirational art books to get the creative juices flowing, here are Our current 20+ favorite art books: Colorful Dreamer The Iridescence of Birds Modern Art Adventures Mix it Up Press Here Any Ed Emberley Book The Day the Crayons Quit Beautiful Oops Dog's Colorful Day Too Much Glue Harold and the Purple Crayon Day with No Crayons Artist to Artist Artist Ted The House Baba Built A Blue Butterfly: A Story of Claude Monet Sandy's Circus A is for Art The Artful Parent This Bridge Will Not Be Grey Art Workshops for Children Ok. Let's get to weaving some baby turtles! Let's Weave Some Baby Turtles! First we painted 3 mini popsicle sticks with quick dry solid tempera paint. (I LOOOVE these paints because we can paint quickly and if the baby starts crying and we have to stop crafting... it's not a big deal. There's not much cleanup or setup needed!) Once our paint dried (ours dried in a couple of minutes) we drew on a face and some toes. Then, we hot glued the turtle together. Now we grabbed our colorful yarn and got weaving. First I tied on a piece of long yarn. (I made sure to leave a bit of excess yarn so that I could tie my last piece of yarn with my first piece of yarn at the end.) Then, we wrapped the yarn around our turtle (across the center), making sure to cover the middle portion. (I think I wrapped it around 2-3 times each time.) Ok. Then, we began weaving just like you would with a normal two stick God's eye pattern. We placed our yarn over a popsicle stick, wrapped it around once, and then placed our yarn over the next popsicle stick, and wrapped it around... and kept repeating that over and around process. And to change colors, we simply tied on another piece of yarn. Once we finished, we tied our last piece of yarn to our first piece of yarn. And that's it! I really hope you try this activity with your kiddos too. It's such a fun and easy craft that's sure to please kids of all ages. (When my 4 year old saw me making these, he immediately wanted to make some too. I got the first steps started for him, but he quickly caught onto the "over and around" weaving pattern!) And if you liked this activity, you can find more weaving crafts and more popsicle stick crafts on the blog! Let's Keep in Contact!
