Wow, Reindeer Day has come and gone...we made antlers
and artwork... ~source {here}~
Great video for your Reindeer Study, Facts to know Before you Meet a Reindeer:
(it's a little weird, but hang in there...it's funny!)
And another...for reindeer eye color:
I used my Reindeer Close Read...
Find it {Here} It was a HIT!
For parent crafts, I used an idea from Eighteen25 {here}
So adorable...and EASY!
I used a 4x4 canvas for each student. I found them on Amazon in packs of 6!
Tomorrow is our Polar Express, I am ready for some hot cocoa!
Hope you've had a great week...two more days! I love my students, but I kinda love being out, too!
Anybody else feel that way?
I can share a how-to this weekend, I took pictures =) Basically they painted the canvas. When it was dry, I painted their hand from the top of the palm up and pressed it onto the canvas. I took a brush and filled in the bottom a bit so it looks like a hill. When that was dry, they used Sharpies to decorate. I used the end of a brush to dot the snow. Hope that helps!
ReplyDeleteLove the reindeer activities! Your parent gifts turned out beautiful too. I did them last year with my first graders. I couldn't find the canvases locally so I used pre-cut pieces of wood from Michaels. They worked well too. I'm sure the parents will love them; mine did!
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of paint was used to paint the canvas?
ReplyDeleteI really like the canvas idea. I have a preschool and had a donation of about 200 cardboard rectangles (appox 2 1/2in x 1 in) thinking we could paint the cardboard and have the same concept. Any other creative ideas out there as to how to use these?
