Halloween Printmaking!

Happy Halloween from everyone here at the Children's Room!

Today is also the last day of October, and I think that one more Halloween craft ought to be sufficiently appropriate before tomorrow (November 1st) is here.

On a side note: we have 8 weeks and 5 days left of this year already, just in case no one else has frightened you with that news yet!

Finally, today is going to be a printmaking craft day! Here is the link with detailed destructions, I mean instructions: http://tinkerlab.com/styrofoam-printmaking/. This might be a bit messy, but it is a really fun process that the kids will enjoy, and the clean up should be quick and easy enough! See you next week!

Firework Painting!

Want to make something bright and fun with the kids? Why not try creating a firework painting?!

They will get to mix colors, play with straws, and have a blast making fireworks. Here is the link with detailed instructions: http://www.mykidsadventures.com/paint-fireworks/. This is a lengthy process because it involves painting on construction paper. If you want to expedite the process, I guess you could get a package of watercolor paper for a reasonable price and paint your background first, let that dry for a few minutes, and then start painting your fireworks.

If you do try this craft, please share with us how it turned out!
