Preschool: Purple Mountains Majesty

I was inspired by a lesson that I found on Color and Collage but made my own version to teach preschool students. For the mountains they painted a sheet of watercolor paper with liquid watercolor and lay saran wrap on top, scrunching it around to make texture. For the night sky, they just painted a sheet in black and blue and flicked silver paint to mimic stars. I helped with the cutting and gluing. Now that I've discovered saran wrap as a texture tool, I'm using it for all my lessons!

Preschool- Butterflies

My after-school enrichment preschool students made their own butterfly collection by finger painting, smearing with sponges and scraping with forks, and created interesting texture.  Using a butterfly punch I punched out the butterflies and glued them down. It would look great in a shadow box and would make a beautiful gift.
