The Bery Brown Bear

Supplies:

paper plates

a stapler

brown paint

white school glue

shaving cream

a paint brush

a plastic fork

scraps of construction paper

scissors

a glue stick

Directions:

Start by mixing up your paint:

"Puffy Paint" recipe:  Mix equal parts white school glue and shaving cream.  For this craft you will add brown paint to make a brown bear.

Next, prepare your bear's face:

Cut two small circles out of one paper plate and staple them to the top of another paper plate to be the bear's ears.  The staples will be covered up by the paint.

Now, time to paint him up!   Make the paint nice and thick.  Glob it on. It may take some time to dry, so have your students begin to make the other parts of the bear.

Cut out 2 pink circles to go in his ears, 2 black circles for eyes, a brown snout shape, and a black oval for his nose. 

Use a glue stick to attach them. 

Finally draw a mouth for your Berry Brown Bear.

A perfect pairing for your craft is to read Brown Bear Brown Bear by Bill Martin Jr & Eric Carle during your story time!

Stain Glass Cross

 

 

 

Items needed:

 

• Old file folder (to create a cross template)

• 1 sheet of construction paper in a bright color per student

• 2 sheets of contact paper per student

• Tissue paper squares in bright colors (1” to 2″ in size)

• Scissors

• Permanent marker

 

1. Make a Template: use a file folder to create a cross template. Fold the folder in half, draw half of  a cross, cut out, leave a 3/4”wide border.

2. Trace:  Folding the pieces of construction paper in half, Trace 1/2 the cross onto the paper. Make sure you are tracing along the fold so the cross will stay connected when it is cut out. You will need to keep the paper folded in half to cut out the cross.

3. Frame: Peel the contact paper and place it sticky side up on the table. Center the cross on the contact paper for your students.
4. Decorate: Let students fill in the cross with the tissue paper squares.

5. Cover: Use the 2nd sheet of contact paper to seal the cross together. Place the new sheet of contact paper sticky side up, then flip the cross page onto it.

6. Label: Use a sharpie to label the front side of the cross with the student’s name. (the back side has tissue paper overlapping the frame)

7. Trim: Use scissors to cut excess contact paper from edges.

 

Enjoy your stain glass crosses!
