Christmas Art 2012

It seems like the whole month of November and into December was devoted to Christmas ornaments and decor that got used for the Holiday Home tour decorating the school. Here's a roundup of those items:

 Popsicle stick snowflakes got mentioned in an earlier post. Smaller versions of these got painted white and placed on the Christmas Tree.

 The K-2 class made the old standby of paper plate snowmen. Always a fun project. They decorated the school lobby.

 We also made handprint Santas with red, white and beige paint, decorated with some buttons and cotton.

 The younger kids used popsicle sticks to make triangles that we turned into Christmas Tree frames for a photo. Super easy, but fun!

Winter projects 2008-9

With this age group, many of my art projects ended up being very seasonal and holiday oriented. The fall holidays provided plenty of material.




This was an idea I got from a book called "Incredibly Awesome Crafts for Kids" by Better Homes and Gardens. It's an angel made from sheet music. I scanned and printed the sheet music and made the cones in advance. Then some pipe cleaner, beads and doileys were added by the kids. This was my first time doing glitter with Kindergarteners...suffice to say I will try to limit my exposure to glitter and elmer's glue with this age group in the future;-)




The classic "stained glass" made from wax paper, crayons and tissue paper, heated with an iron. The kids really liked this one and its amazing how good it can look in a window!




Snowmen made from cotton balls and found objects. Lots of fun.
