I have two projects to share with all of you that we have been working on in our schooling this year. The first one is an beautiful craft project I found on the the Crayola website. I love snatching quick and easy projects from that site to do with the kids. I'm afraid I don't remember the title of the project.
It was quite simple to make and the result is a beautiful fall craft display for your home. First, take a pice of white contruction paper and have your child fold it into fourths. Basically fold once and then a second time to fold into a square shape and unfold. Next have them choose four colors and have them color very dark with a marker into each box. Once that is done have them collect four leaves around your yard or neighborhood and these will be painted on one side with gold paint and pressed down on to each separate colored square as shown above.
Once it is dried you will carefully slit lines with an exacto knife about a half of an inch apart. Be sure not to slit all the way to the bottom of the sheet. Once that is completed have your child take some bamboo sticks (we pre painted ours gold) and carefully weave the sticks in a basic weave pattern on to the art project. Here is a photo of it.
The other finished project that I can shre with you today is our dinosaur lapbook. Here it is finally. You can find all the links to make one for yourself at http://www.homeschoolshare.com/
