by Leo Lionni is a beautiful mass that teaches kids close teamwork as well as friendship. I loved using it when I taught simple schoolhouse as well as relish sharing it amongst my ain kids now.For our featured book-inspired activeness today, nosotros created a H2O gun painted fish craft.
Here's how nosotros created our H2O gun painted fish craft...
Materials Needed: H2O guns (or spray bottles), a loving cup or ii of water, washable pigment (or liquid watercolor), cardstock, painters tape, as well as scissors.
Directions:
First nosotros taped about cardstock upward on a debate outside. I wanted to accept the newspaper create ahead of fourth dimension because I knew i time the H2O guns were filled the kids would desire to showtime epitome immediately... as well as I was right!
Next nosotros added about H2O as well as washable pigment to the H2O guns. My hubby helped amongst this as well as my boy was our H2O carrier. Once the H2O as well as pigment is added (more pigment than water), it needs to hold upward thoroughly shaken as well as hence that it loosens upward as well as tin movement easily within the H2O gun.
Once the H2O guns showtime shooting the pigment properly... simply move past times them off to your picayune artists as well as say them to showtime creating their masterpieces on cardstock! We had a unlike color pigment inward each H2O gun as well as nosotros stuck to exclusively 3 colors. I loved to meet how the colors mixed as well as dripped.
This activeness was a hit. We exclusively had xxx minutes to create it as well as nosotros needed a lot longer! We volition hold upward doing it i time again after this week!
We also set about cardstock on the solid soil as well as squirted the color downward at that topographic point too. The pigment moved differently as well as that was fun to watch.
Once the masterpieces were created, nosotros allow them dry out spell nosotros cleaned up. As you lot could imagine, the kids sprayed things other than the paper. We made certain to accept babe wipes on manus to build clean up.
*It is critical that you lot purpose WASHABLE pigment for this activeness or else the pigment won't come upward off the surfaces where you lot paint. We did this activeness OUTSIDE as well as hence that nosotros did less damage. :) I highly recommend doing that.
If you lot accept large newspaper to use, select handgrip of that instead of small-scale pieces of cardstock. We were visiting my mom when nosotros did this project, as well as hence nosotros didn't accept access to about of our park materials... similar large pieces of butcher paper.
After the paintings are dry, purpose a fish stencil to assistance you lot cutting the masterpieces into fish shapes. The adult tin cutting the fish or older preschoolers tin cutting for themselves.
Then you lot tin give-up the ghost along things simple as well as simply mountain the artwork on colored paper... or acquire a flake to a greater extent than creative as well as stuff your fish (like these featured at The Crafty Crow) as well as hang them.
Either way, displaying these colorful fish volition remind your kid of the fun H2O activeness you lot did every bit good every bit the darling mass you lot read together!
