In honor of Earth day this week, we are planning to do some special activities. Most of those will be crafts made using recycled materials. Today we started our Earth Week off by making the Earth.
For this activity, you will need a paper plate and some green and blue paint.
1. Paint the paper plate with the blue paint.
2. Using your child's hand dipped in green paint, make the "land".
3. There you have it! Our Earth:0)

What kind of paint do you use??? I have a 4 year old, three year old and two year old that would just love your projects... the one year old twins would to but I am afraid they would eat it:)

ReplyDeleteThis is a way cool project! I love that it gets the little ones in on Earth Day! I'll be linking.

ReplyDeleteAwww... I love this!! We are looking forward to doing some nature crafts and cleaning up a local playground. We do things with recyclables year-round, but will probably do more with that too!

Is the Crayola Finger paint what you used for your ABC review pages??? Like the ants on the Ant hill:) I am having trouble finding it in black:) But we just finished up the alphabet and this ideas would be a wonderful review:)
ReplyDeleteThat is hilarious- I had a dream last night about making the Earth with footprints for the land! I woke up telling my husband. He told me I have the weirdest dreams, dreaming up crafts. haha. I LOVE how yours turned out!

ReplyDeleteI loved this project. My son and I did it today, except we just did the handprint on construction paper, since I knew his concentration wouldn't hold out long enough to paint the plate, and then do the handprints. I'll be linking back.
