New Year Art
Contact_FullName: Lisa Contact_Email: ldejong@huroncounty.ca Area: New Years Art Idea: Fireworks painting Use coffee filters or round paper plates that fit into the bottom of a salad spinner. Make paint extra wet and have child drip paint from brush onto paper plate or coffee filter at the bottom of salad spinner. They put on the lid and let them spin. Looks like fire works when you take it out. The kids love to spin it fast, slow etc. Contact_FullName: Kelly Contact_Email: KellyGirl898@aol.com Area: New Years - Art Idea: Paper Party Hat: Take a White piece of paper (Construction or Painting Paper work good) fold it into a cone shape and either tape, staple or glue it. then using a hole puncher make 2 holes at the bottom of the hat (one on left side, and one on right side) stick reinforcements over the holes on the inside then tie a piece of yarn to each hole (this will be used to tie the hat onto the childs head). then write HAPPY BIRTHDAY and childs name on the hat then let the child decorate the hat with Birthday stickers, confetti, glitter, stampers ect... let dry and they can wear the hat for a special Birthday Party at the end of Birthday Theme week. you may also use this idea for New Years, St. Patrick's Day ect... Contact_FullName: Lisa Contact_Email: jimmynlisa@thegateway.net Area: new year's/art Idea: Party hats: I let the kids paint a paper/Styrofoam bowl and then add glitter. Once they were dry I computer printed "happy new year" and cut it out and glued kinda to the side of the bowl. attached a string with hole puncher and yarn. Looked almost exactly like the real new years hats everyone wears. I also let the kids make a little bag of confetti. I tied the bag bag shut with pretty leftover x-mas ribbon and attached a party horn (like the birthday ones leftover from parties throughout the year) and sent it home with each kid. Parents and the kids as well loved it...they were all prepared to celebrate!

Have children make noise into the tube and it acts somewhat like a kazoo. 12-27-00We always make our own fireworks at the daycare I work at. We get black paper and use glue to make a firework design on it and sprinkle it with different colored glitter. Another thing we do is get Popsicle sticks and glue pieces of colored paper at one end to make sparklers. The kids loved it.
Date: 1-8-00New Years : This year I had my students watercolor the underside of a small but sturdy paper plate. On another plate we wrote 2000 (could be any year) and Happy New Year. They then added streamers to the edges and we put beans inside before we stapled it shut to make a noisemaker. What made it really fun, is we also added a time capsule element. Each child drew a picture of their family and answered some questions about themselves and their dreams. We tucked those inside also and gave their parents a note asking them to save this for 6 years (until the children were 10 years old) and then open it together on New Years Eve. surprise! Date: 12-11-99Fireworks painting Using water paint drop some onto the paper then using a straw blow the paint across the paper. It looks like fireworks. You can also put paper on the fence and use fly swatters to splatter the paint.
