Play Dough Snake Letter Cards

Well since I only have little kids home today, and since I was already making these...I figured we'd go for it for our FuNNeR TiMe activity!!!

Here's a link to the Play Dough Snake Letter Cards, I made.

Here's to a FuNNeR TiMe!!

Noodle Art~ Painting

Today for our FuNNeR TiMe! Activity, the kids asked to paint our Noodle Art. Since we had a very busy day, with a homeschool field trip. We will be doing that tomorrow! So now Noodle Art is going to be a 2 day activity.

Rock Painting

Just as the title says, rock painting! I told everyone to go outside and find themselves a rock. Then they chose how to paint it. I will spray them with a clear spray paint, and then they can put them outside, to help decorate the yard!

Noodle Art!

Supplies:
Noodles and rice, lots of different shapes and sizes!
Paper, Heavy duty. I had some foam pages for kids crafts. That's what we used. Though after I did it, I thought I should have cut up that large cardboard box we have out back.
Glue, we used school glue. Lot's of Glue!
This is what I did for little A6. She wanted a letter "A" then I smeared glue all over her page, and let her decorate, however she wanted.

I gave the A's very little directions on this. I laid out all the supplies, said we will make a picture with out paint, crayons or colored pencils. To get the details, and look, you need to think of texture. I had them lay out their main picture or idea, before they started gluing. It was a fun, and messy project!

Butterfly Art~ Symmetrical Art

So this was an off the top of my head activity! If we do it again, I will call it Symmetrical Art, not Butterfly Art!
While I was gathering supplies and preparing to start, I did discuss symmetry. I also discussed butterfly wings, and how they look.

To do this, simply fold a piece of paper in half. Paint on one side of the paper. We first drew pencil sketches of butterflies. Paint quickly and use plenty of paint. I would suggest doing an area for older children. Who want to add details, and take their time. Then when you have that side the way you want it, simply fold the paper over on top of the painted side and PAT down. Do not rub, unless you want a blended look. Then open the paper decide if you need to re-paint an area for more color. If everything turned out as desired, simply move to another area.

Next time we will all decide of our own symmetrical shapes and try them out!!

Marble Painting

This activity went SO FAST I only took a photo of the supplies :)

Supplies I used:

One disposable aluminum cooking pan per child

(you know those cheap ones you see everywhere!)
A bag of marbles

1 piece of card stock, or heavy paper

(make sure it's heavy weight paper)

PAINT!

To do this, we found it best to use less paint, and make very small and little paint dots on the paper. We did different colors at one time, about 3-4 colors. Then throw in a handful of marbles. Next time I might only use 1 marble at a time. Roll around, all directions and everywhere.

This was way fun, however way fast. We didn't have enough heavy duty paper to make more than one. So I added another off the top of my head activity!

Bubble Painting FuN!

Today's FuNNeR TiMe! Activity was

Bubble Painting...

To do this activity you need a bowl with a straw. To it you will add 1/4C dish washing soap. Then add water SLOWLY you want to make the least amount of bubbles as you can. We filled ours until it was about 1 inch from the rim. Then add paint. Stir carefully to not make bubbles. Now you put your straw in the bowl, and blow. After you get tons of bubbles, place a sturdy paper (we used cardstock) on top of the bubbles. When they dry (or sometimes in our case, when they were blown off!) they will leave a bubble shape in that color. Try not to suck! A5 drank a little. She seems to be fine, but sure didn't enjoy that part of the activity. I read online that you can use food coloring instead of paint. We tried, it didn't work. If anyone has ever done this, please let me know. It sure would be better to drink food coloring instead of paint!

Here's some pictures of my 7 blessing bubble painting!

Okay so A2 was napping, and A1 was...well trying to paint!

Here's to some FuNNeR TiMeS!!!!!
