I'm sure there are other posts on paper mache but I can't
find them. I need any practical tips on doing paper
mache. What grades should I do this with? I have
kindergarten - 5th grade. If I get parents to come help
can K and 1st do this? What do you put your mixture in?
I'm planning on using glue/water m...See More

I am in the process of creating a summer fun calendar for
the class of 3 and 4 year olds for summer camp. We will
have special days like hat day, color days, pajama day,
etc. But I am in need of any other ideas to fill the
calendar. Please if you have any ideas, emal me.
Thanks,
Angela

Try something like a pool fun day, or a water day. My son
loved it when his preschool class did it last summer.

Let the kids be creative! I suggest having a "When I Grow Up
Day", or a "superhero" day. That way you can let the
children explain why they dressed the way they did. You
could also have an outside day. On this day, have all
outside activities, with a picnic for lunch.

Has anyone else tried the activity plan linked below. I did
it today and the results were pretty impressive. I think
this would be good for any grade level, which is unusual. If
you have your students do it, please share your impressions.

I am looking for an art lesson where my kinders create
their own giant. Does any one have any suggestions?

I started this project last week, and some of the balloons
are starting to deflate after only two layers. One of
them actually burst while the student was putting the wet
newspaper on, and it was ruined (I suppose the wet pieces
on the hardened dry ones just made it cave in). If these
dry after two layer...See More

Years ago in a Spanish club we created pinatas doing this same project. We used good quality latex balloons and liquid starch for the glue. It might also help to tape the knotted end for when you go to pull the balloon out. Good luck and have fun.

If you make them on the small side, 2 layers will be fine, but just be sure not not to saturate the paint on them. If the paint gets too wet, they will start to lose their shape. Have the kids apply one layer of paint one day and another layer the next.

Hi, any advice on a book that teaches a non-drawing teacher
how to teach drawing to 4 year olds? I looked at the Monart
book, but it seems to be more of a teacher resource and not
a lot of lessons for the little guys...I found a "How to
Draw" series of books on amazon.com, but don't know if
they'd be an appro...See More

I have done paper machhe with 3 to 6 year olds. A lot will
depend on what you are making. I try to use balloons as much a
possible. The easiest way I found is to make the mixture in a
tub of some kind. Then you can dip your ballon in the mix, (in
my class we call it "goo") and have the children place the
