It's June and the crafting is easy with grads and dads to celebrate, as well as the grand ol' flag. And yes, I've found handprint crafts to share for all these holidays. You can also check some of the previous handprint craft posts for suns, flowers and other fun crafts for summertime. For many families, June brings a graduation or a "moving up' ceremony. I love this personalized graduation certificate from Makes and Takes, made with a child's handprint. This project is easy enough to make at school with every child in the class, or at home for a family keepsake: Photo from MakesandTakes.com Flag Day is on Saturday, June 14. This holiday commemorating the adoption of the 13-star version of the Flag of the United States in 1777 (the 50-star version was adopted on July 4, 1960) is the perfect time to make a handprint flag with your own little patriots: Photo from LessonPlansPage.com You can also make a flag with handprints and footprints. Serendipity has great instructions for making this patriotic masterpiece: Photo from Serendipity Father's Day is Sunday, June 15, and I love combining the handprint theme with the sentiment "Best Dad, Hands Down" on everything from tee shirts to ceramic tiles to greeting cards. Roots and Wings Co. has a version on canvas,which is explained in great detail, but to be honest, still seems like it would be a lot of work for a regular person like me to create. Still, it looks so good it would be worth the effort. I'm planning to give it my best mom-try with the kids. Photo from Roots and Wings Co. I also love this Father's Day Hand Print Sun Catcher. The Homeschool Classroom has very detailed instructions, and a reminder for along the way that it's the process not the product. So true in life in general, and especially when crafting with kids. Happy June, happy handprint crafts, and happy summer! Have other great crafts to share? Please leave your links in the comments below.

Before third graders learned about Da Vinci, we created backgrounds for our artwork in the style of Jackson Pollock. We read "Action Jackson," and got a feel for how Pollock lived and worked. We learned that Pollock dripped and drizzled house paint all over huge canvases in his studio. Next, we did our own abstract expressionist string paintings on colored paper. If you want to see how we did that check out this post from last year! Next, we read "Leonardo and the Flying Boy." Through this story, we learned that Leonardo was not only famous for painting the Mona Lisa but he was also a great sculptor, musician, scientist and inventor! We got to peek at a few of his sketches of inventions that were drawn way before their time! We used his creative inspiration to invent robots of our own! Learning Goals: I can... - Tell about Jackson Pollock - Create a string painting in the style of Pollock - Tell about Da Vinci - Create my own unique robot - Paint smooth edges - Use chalk to create highlights to make more robot look more 3D (form)
End the school year in a meaningful way with these simple self-portrait template foldouts. This EOY craft activity can be used before summer break to help children reflect on their best first or second-grade memories. The finished foldouts are a sweet keepsake for students or could be used for an end-of-year bulletin board. The activity Students start by creating a self-portrait using the blank faces provided. There are 14 hairstyles, plus a hijab so children can choose one that looks most like them. Hairstyles are also included with a circle border for children who are less confident with scissors. Students will then complete the center of the foldout using a template (see details below), before cutting, pasting, and folding. A picture showing where to fold is included. The templates There are 3 template options for the center of the foldout: Template 1: 4 boxes with 5 prompts (my best memory, my proudest moment, something I learned, the best book I read, my favorite subject). Use with any grade. Template 2: ‘My memories of first grade.’ 4 blank boxes to write or draw memories of the past school year. Template 3: ‘My memories of second grade.’ 4 blank boxes to write or draw memories of the past school year. Is this resource editable? No, this PDF resource is not editable.
I just couldn't wait to post about our Jackson Pollock guitars! The first day, third graders learned about Jackson Pollock. We read Action Jackson, and got a feel for how Pollock lived and worked. We learned that Pollock dripped and drizzled house paint all over huge canvases in his studio. Next, we did our own abstract expressionist string paintings. We used clothespins to hold the strings this year and it was SO much better than fingers! After that, we did something that Pollock would have hated! We turned our awesome paintings into guitars! Students were given a photo reference sheet that had pictures of different guitars. Everyone was encouraged to create their own designs! This project was a blast for everyone! Learning Goals: I can... - Tell about Jackson Pollock - Use creativity to make my guitar unique - Explain that a graphic designer might help create the look of a guitar!
