The Read Abouts: April

Earth Day!

Read: Earth Day by Margaret McNamara and Muncha! Muncha! Muncha! by Candance Fleming

Craft: Paper Mache Bowls

  • Need: Recycle your old yogurt containers, plastic wrap, elastics, white glue, sponge brushes and several colors of tissue.
  • Prior to the craft, I covered the bottom of the yogurt containers with plastic wrap secured with an elastic. AND, to avoid a huge clean-up, I placed a plastic table cloth on the craft table.
  • On another craft table, I placed sheets of tissue paper for the children to select and tear up -- on their own.  
  • Then the children moved back to their craft seat and began the messy-fun of paper mache!






Sorry, no picture of the completed project. For some reason, (maybe because it is somewhat transparent), it did not photograph well? I will keep trying.....
