Stained Glass Windows

Spring Class’ theme for the month is around the world.  Today, in arts & crafts, we made stained glass windows.  As far as arts & crafts go, this is easy.  All you need is crayons, paper, baby oil and cotton.  Use a dark crayon to make random loops and scribbles all over the paper.  Keep them rather large unless you want to be coloring forever.  Use bright colors to color in the shapes.  When you’re finished coloring, turn the paper over.  Dip the cotton in the baby oil and spread it over the paper.  You’ll be able to see the colors coming through.  Then cut out your design.  Punch a hole in it and use some string for a hanger.  Hang it in a sunny window.

Frog Puppets

OK.  First post about my new school, Maple Square.  I teach a variety of things to 5 and 7 year olds.  Today was arts & crafts with the advanced 7 year olds.  We made frog puppets, which go with this weeks theme.  Well, last week’s theme.  I misread the schedule and got off a week.  Anyhow, we made frog puppets using this site for directions.  Unlike previous arts & craft projects, these turned out really great.  Sorry about the crappy pictures.  I left my camera at home, and all I had was my cell phone.
