ROCK PAPERWEIGHTS
Give each child a rock that has been washed with soap and dried. Have the children
decorate the rocks with craft paint to create their own unique paperweights.
MASKS
Cut 8 ½ x 11 pieces of paper in half. Give each child a piece of paper and a crayon or
marker. Have each child fold their piece of paper in half and cut a hole that their nose
will fit through. Have them cut a small hole first, then adjust the hole to fit the size of
their nose. Have the children try on their masks and let them try to figure out where
the eyes should go. They can then cut out holes for the eyes. Let the children decorate
their masks with different facial expressions.
JIGSAW PUZZLES
Give each child a piece of cardboard, a picture from a magazine, some scissors, and
some glue. Have the children glue their pictures onto their cardboard. When the glue
is dry, have them cut their cardboard into the shape of jigsaw puzzle pieces. When
they have finished, have them trade puzzles and have a race to see who finishes first.
GRAPH PAPER DRAWINGS
Give each child a sheet of graph paper and a pen or pencil. Have each child draw a
picture on the graph paper using only the lines on the graph paper. Curved lines are
not allowed. Let the children color their creations. Have them share their pictures with
each other when they are done.
COLLAGES
Give each child newspapers, scissors, glue, and notebook paper. Have each child cut
words and sentences from newspaper pages and combine them to create a unique
story. Have them arrange their sentences on the notebook paper and glue them in place.
A theme for the stories can be decided beforehand. Let the children share their stories
with each other.
FLUBBER
1 1/2 cups warm water
2 cups white school glue
1 1/3 cups warm water
3 teaspoons Borax
Food coloring
Mix 1 1/2 cups warm water, glue, and food coloring together. In a separate bowl, mix 1 1/3
cups warm water and Borax together. Pour the glue mixture into the Borax mixture and
take out of bowl to knead until flubber is soft and consistent in form. Store in a zip-lock
bag or tightly sealed container. This stuff is really fun! Enjoy!
