Art  

We made airplanes out of paper towel tubes. I cut slits with an Exacto knife on the sides of tube and cut wings out of poster board and inserted through slits. Children painted the planes. After dry, we added windows with a small, square sponge. To finish the plane, I used alphabet pretzels and had each child spell out his name in pretzels and glue to the side of plane with tacky glue. They were displayed on a wire across the room and I hung white and blue crepe paper streamers in between the planes for sky and clouds.

Idea:

Purchase transportation counters at your local school store. Use a few of the airplanes in this art activity. Children like to fly his/her airplane in a shallow pan of paint and land on paper. This is very pretty with different colors of paint.
