Ducks....

This is a baby duck...This is one of my few 'directional' projects. Meaning, they had simple directions. :) First the yellow fuzz (from our easter baskets...reuse,reduce,recycle....) Then 2 eyes, then the triangle beak, then the feather wings, all on top of a coffee filter (we didn't have any paper plates or I would have used those to make it a wee bit sturdier.
I think your kids make the cutest projects EVER!Here we are making Duck feet prints....We a few different spatulas and some forks. At the light table we are painting with feathers. We used Orange, Yellow, and Green. We painted on vellum paper (it's transparent). At the light table I also have mirrors all around to add light and to add the cool effect of seeing forever.......There is really only one table :)This is the light table a few days ago...it had pegs and boards...Cornmeal at the sensory table....Counting ducks...and placing them in numerical order.

Duck Week....

D for Duck collage....the older kids can trace the duck from a template, the younger ones I pre-make them. I set out a bunch of yellow and orange collage material. Easter grass, orange pasta, yarn, ribbon, buttons, feathers and streamers....
Cornmeal, ducks, cups, and sifters....

I found these crazy 'body massagers' at the dollar store. They make cool dots!

Yellow playdough....I will add orange on Wednesday...

Sewing Ducks

I cut out duck shapes out of cardstock and punched holes around the edge. I wrapped tape around the end of the yarn to make it like a shoelace. Then we sewed......and sewed.....
and sewed..... and sewed.....
and sewed.....
They loved it.
We will have to do that with flowers next week!
