Peplophoros Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Ok, so a couple friends and I do an art co-op and it's my turn (tomorrow!). Any ideas for cute art projects for ages 5-8? __________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blondeviolin Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Get some coffee filters, draw on them with fall-colored markers. Lightly mist with water to get the colors to bleed and spread. Cut into leaf shapes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Leaf rubbings Get several leaves of different shapes and sizes and crayons in whatever colors you like, papers peeled off. And white paper, of course. When they've made the rubbings, they can use thin sticks to glue a frame around the edge of the paper, or just use crayons to draw simple frames.

justLisa Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I posted on your other thread. But to avoid confusion amongst easily confused people such as myself if you post on both boards put cross post or XP in your thread title. I was thinking where the heck did my comment go and though I maybe posted to the wrong thread! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget-Me-Not Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 (edited) Well, these are more 'Halloween" I guess, but I made these paper plate spiders with my kids last week and they loved them. I found black paper plates at Wal-Mart so we didn't have to paint them. And we used a silver Sharpie to add mouths and fangs. (hint, the legs stay on better if you anchor the pipe cleaners between two plates and then staple). After they made spiders, they branched out into black cats :D Here are some cat ideas that can be made with paper plates as well: arched cat black cat treat pouch Edited October 16, 2012 by LemonPie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6packofun Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Decorate mini-pumpkins and gourds with google eyes, yarn hair, and other fun things. (Maybe stuff from a nature walk?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
