Caterpillar
For this creative activity we created caterpillars out of the letter C. Instead of painting the caterpillar, we glued colored pom pom balls. The students really enjoyed creating colorful caterpillars.
This activity required- the letter C already made on a construction sheet of paper
- glue
- pom pom balls (to the right)
- markers
Our
students LOVE anything that involves water. They also enjoy
painting. In this station we have combined the two. First students are allowed to run their matchbox cars
through paint that we have set out. After putting paint on their cars tires
they run their matchbox car on a piece of paper to show the tracks that they
have created. After they are done making tracks the students are allowed to
give their cars a car wash.
This activity required
-smocks
-many different colors of paint
-toothbrushes to scrub matchbox cars
-matchbox cars
-dawn dish soap
-white card-stock
-tub to contain car wash water
-water
Because this activity can be extremely messy we had our students wear smocks. The photo above is an example of the type of smocks we had our students wear.
Clouds
We introduced this topic of clouds by reading Eric Carle's Little Cloud. Within this book Eric Carle illustrates many different animals and objects using clouds to shape the animals and objects. To the right of the front cover of the book there are some examples of cloud shapes that appear in Little Cloud. Once we finished reading the book we asked students to create their own object, shape, or animal using cloud fluff.
This activity required
--Cloud fluff--
-shaving cream
-glue
*mix the first two ingredients (we sprayed some shaving cream in a sandwich size bag and then added about a tablespoon of Elmer's glue and mixed them together inside the bag)
- blue construction paper
-smocks
- sharpie markers (teachers used these only to write what the child said they made with the cloud fluff)
Letter C Worksheet
Again students use these tracer sheets to practice lower and upper case letter C.
