Arts and Crafts

Because of the rainy weather this week, my summer camp class did lots of arts and crafts projects. I love doing arts and crafts, and I think my kids enjoyed it too. First, we made "Thumbprint Bugs." The students stuck their thumbs in paint and made caterpillars, butterflies, and other types of bugs out of their thumbprints. They turned out so cute! Then, we made fish out of paper plates and construction paper. We cut a "pie slice" out of the paper plate and it made a mouth. We glued the "slice" onto the backside of the plate to make a tail and drew and eye. The kids shredded pieces of tissue paper and glued them onto the fish body to make scales. They turned out really colorful and the kids were proud of them. Finally, we made self-portraits. The kids drew pictures of themselves on white construction paper using crayons. It was really cute to see how the kids perceived themselves. I hung all of their projects in the hall outside of our classroom for everyone to view. Hopefully, I will be able to upload some pictures of their arts and crafts products later this week!
