Summer Fun – 8 Weeks Creative Fun For Kids
Summer. Children to school and have a long lazy day in July and August for the future. They can spend the days before television, or they may be using their imaginations to create projects that reflect their own unique talents.
Who cares what the kids are on vacation? After all, they are in school 10 months a year, and most recently art classes. There are enough art classes in school?
Creative and artistic activities are notthe same. Creativity is an approach to life. Creative thinkers know that the problems are many different solutions. When faced with obstacles, are contrary to resign. Must be willing to take risks as they learn new skills. These are important life skills that children should be encouraged.
Crafts and creative projects give children the opportunity to learn and practice in this field. Even if they follow the instructions exactly the project will continueto make decisions about the nuances of color and placement of products. Once you are familiar with the project, most children will have to do it again. This is the really creative moment. The colors change first, then forms, and suddenly a new project with his own imagination.
Creative projects for children to find ways to do what they want, instead of opening a window that has all the resources in one place. First DraftWeekly list of projects (see below) uses the high age of the knee or a pair of socks. What if not available? Are children to wait until someone finds all the "right" materials. No, they begin to think about what they replace. Can the old work socks? How about a blood cloth? It's fun to sit back and watch the children solve their own problems.
These summer projects to encourage children to work with a wide range of materials. One of the best things of summerprojects that can be made out. Less mess to clean!
Summer Projects
Week 1 – Hairy Heads (high age or cut knee mesh grass seeds, dirt, 2 rubber bands and decorations)
Put 2 tablespoons of grass seed in the bottom pantyhose finger. Add 1-2 cups of soil. Make sure the seeds stay in the top of the head, otherwise you will have sprout hair in his eyes. Use the small elastic to pinch off the nose is halfway to the head. Useflexible second to tie the bottom. Garnish with the paste on the eyes, mouth, ears, or whatever else intrigues children. Use paper, felt, colored plastic, markers, pipe cleaners, the material at hand.
Keep Hairy Head in a small dish of water down. "Hair", germinates in less than a week. Children can style hair elastics, clips and scissors. (Note: My daughter decided to cut her own hair after giving her Hairy Final Boss!)
Week 2 – FabricPainting T-shirts (plain T-shirts, fabric paint, cardboard, paint brushes and sponges)
Can children take an old shirt or a cloth in the beginning. Place a piece of cardboard under the first layer of tissue to ensure no leaks. Some fabric paints in bottles of compression, which is good for the line, or with a brush or sponge. Designs with handprints are interesting and make a great gift for grandma. If you need design ideas, use ofchild's coloring book pictures to drawings.
Week 3 – Pet Rocks (rocks, acrylic paint, glue, brushes)
Collect the rocks. Make sure that there are different sizes and shapes. Begin by selecting a rock that will become part of the house (head, ears and nose can, trunk, arms and legs). Paint the entire rock up and down on a color. After drying the primer, to start adding the information, eyes, whiskers, fur. Rubber Parts When everything is dry,together.
If kids tire of pet can be a stay at the top of the door of the book, garden decorations, and paper pulp.
Week 4 – Make your own fossils (clay, printed components – leaves, coins, errors)
Add a rock or a clay plate or use the dough recipe (below). From water to a smooth surface. Make impressions with different objects. Try leaves, coins, shells, and even small toys. Once dry, rub on shoes and a little polishacrylic sealer to last for months and months, respectively. Burying in the sand and dirt and debris and archaeologist digging expedition. Connect with the treasure hunt (8 weeks) and used as a guide to the treasure.
Mass recipe (1 cup flour, 1 / 2 cup salt, 1 cup water, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 2 tablespoons cream of tartar) Mix all ingredients in a saucepan and stir over medium heat. Blend soup in pieces will suddenly be in the form of a sphere. Remove from heat and knead on non-stick surface.Useful for many types of projects. Refrigerate or let air dry creations.
Week 5 – Start Journal (notebook and pen or pencil)
Interestingly Find books and white children to write in it every day. Great time to start a magazine on the first day of travel. Then you are a lot of new things to write, and can become a habit.
Adults can help the ideas of topics. Ask is the first thing a child can you remember? Was not it your birthday orHis favorite? What he or she and her best friend? What is the best thing you ever do that? Keep a list of questions on the last page of the newspaper for the quiet day.
Week 6 – rain sticks (long tubes of gift wrap or paper towel, strips of cardboard, paper, ribbons, seeds, or rice)
Cut two 4-inch circle of paper (trace a bowl of cereal for the form.) Put one in the end of the tube and fold the tape down around the pipe. Addor cardboard strips are narrower than the tube (about 1 inch should still work). Fold one side to another as a fan. Place the strips into the tube. The first should be at the bottom of the tube. Keep adding strips until you reach the top of the pipe. Pour the rice 1 / 4 cup and 2 tablespoons of seeds (dried peas, popcorn, or lentils). Tape the other circle at the open end of the tube and tape in place. Garnish with pipe markers, paint or glue on paper ortape.
Week 7 – Memory Board (forum Matt, exacto knife, pictures and objects)
While on vacation, taking pictures, and children gather items to remind them of their trip (with seashells, ticket stubs from the fair, pellets of a walk in the forest, the hotel brochure or attraction). When photos are developed, they have children, 2-3 select which have expanded in 5×7 or 8×10. Photos must be of unequal sizes. Get a large piece of cardboard mate (magazines Rule, orframing shops). Can children try different approaches to pictures and objects, until you decide to others is not the best. Trace lightly with a pencil, where each object. Adults should use a knife to cut holes in body image (slightly smaller than the photos). Pictures of tapes back and tail of objects at the front. If the frame of the same size, but in support of the Board (a front glass), or simply hang on the wallframeless. Children are all objects in one place.
Week 8 – Treasure Hunt
There are many ways to plan for the treasure hunt. For younger children, adults can not hide the traces at different locations. Each track can carry a child to the next concept (picture a shovel and a bucket could lead to a clue hidden in the sand pit). The final clue lead to the Treasury (CD "cookies," a call for slides, film slides, lemonade). For older children,suggestions may puzzle that must be addressed. Or one of the children make a treasure map (or list of addresses), which can lead to a treasure. At first, limit the number of suggestions regarding the child's age (7 years of age may be seven clues to the treasure).
