Need: Paper
towel tubes (one for each child), tape, crepe-paper or tissue-paper

streamers to one end of the paper towel tubes (can
always paint the tubes before taping the streamers.) Let the children

non-messy way) added

Submitted by: Mandi McIntyre
Need:
White
paper, paint, Saran wrap
Directions: When teaching what
colors mixed together make what, this is a great, non-messy way to do
it. Take a paper plate, and put the primary colors on it. They are
red, blue, and yellow. Put a piece of saran wrap over the paper
plate, big enough to cover the whole thing. Let the child mix the
paint with the fingers with using pressing on the saran wrap. When
he/she is finished, remove the saran wrap and let dry. The child
will be impressed with their masterpiece!

Need: glue, food coloring, cups, Popsicle
sticks, paper
Directions:
Using Elmer's Glue, fill several cups
half way with glue. Make sure there is enough for every child to
share. Use food coloring to color the glue and stir with Popsicle
sticks. Children can use these Popsicle sticks to
"drizzle" the glue onto a large piece of construction paper.
Encourage them to tilt the paper at different angles to let the glue
flow or perhaps folding the paper in half making symmetrical designs.
Ask children what it is they created, you will get some interesting
answers!!
