Craft: Feather painting
Need: Feathers, craft paint and craft paper.
Instruct the children to paint using the feathers as paint brushes.
Have them leave paintings behind to dry.
When paintings are dry, I will glue strips of paper to "frame" the painting.
We did this project last year and the children LOVED it. Seems like the simplest projects always end out the best. I really enjoy doing open-ended "art" projects rather than crafts. This way their imaginations can just take over. Plus not a ton of preplanning that needs to take place -- bit of paint and THE END!!
