Camping Art
Contact_FullName: Debbie Contact_Email: debbie@baldwinnc.com Area: camping Idea: To make real canteens - use 2 small "Chinet" paper plates, small bottles of water unopened and a heavy piece of yarn or rope to make the strap. Have the children paint their paper plates - we used green & brown to represent camouflage. After plates are dry - insert a small bottle of water so that the cap is sticking out. Staple the edges of the plate. Punch a hole on each side of the bottle through the plates - tie your yarn or rope to make the strap. the kids and their parents loved these. Contact_FullName: Christine Contact_Email: gocatsgo@nb.sympatico.ca Area: Camping - Art Idea: Take a piece of construction paper and lay it out length wise. Fold down the 2 top corners so they meet in the middle of your page. You now have a tent. Have children decorate their tent. Encourage them to add scenery around their tent (ex. trees, campfire, etc.) Inside the flap add a picture of the child resting their head in their hands. When they open the flaps of the tent it will look like they are resting in their tent. Contact_FullName: Amanda Contact_FullName: Shasta Contact_Email: shastabh@excite.com date:: 05-20-03 Area: camping art Idea: A fun and easy project for your preschoolers is to create a artists campfire. To do this, you give your students a piece of construction paper (green maybe). Then, give them strips of brown construction paper logs to glue on. Next, have them glue "fire" to the logs using pieces of red/orange tissue paper. Lastly, give them cotton balls to glue on as marshmallows! Contact_FullName: Krista Contact_Email: KStout_50211@yahoo.com date:: 07/04/02 Area: Camping Art Idea: Sleeping Bags You need: 1 Large white pillowcase per child and Fabric paints. My son and I discovered that a Large pillowcase makes the perfect sleeping bag. Just have the kids decorate any way they want when the sleeping bags are dry have the kids crawl inside and gather around for a campfire sing along or spooky story.
ideaCanteen: You need: 2 heavy duty Chinnet paper plates, 1 empty film canister, and a piece of string Have the children paint their paper plates when they are dry glue them together (hot glue holds best) cut to small slots at the top the width of the film canister push the open end of the canister into the slots you may want to add some glue to keep it there. then with a paper punch punch a hole on either side of the film canister and tie your string on. looks so real we had parents thinking they could really fill them up.
ideaBinoculars: you need: 2 toilet paper rolls, string. Have the children paint or decorate the toilet paper rolls then glue them together put a paper punch in either side and tie on a string.
11-7-00Fireflies On dark colored construction paper, (Preferably black), Have student use their finger to make two prints beside each other in white. Then using same finger do one print in the middle in yellow. The more they make the nicer it looks :). 7-30-00 Make Your Own Tent Get an old, king size sheet and take it outside. Fill up squirt bottles with water and food coloring. Hang the sheet up on a chain link fence OR place it flat on the grass. Have the children squirt the sheet as much as their little hearts desire. Let the sheet dry completely. This is now your "tent". Create a place to put up your tent. You can drape it over a table, over a big box, etc. Let your imagination be your guide!
6-5-00Materials: small milk cartons, glue, scissors, construction paper Let children cut and glue paper and other materials to milk cartons to make their own tents. You (or the children) can cut flaps in the cartons to make them more tent-like.
6-2-00Backpack: Take a grocery sack and let the children color it anyway they want. Trim about two inches off the top of the grocery sack. Attach the trim pieces to the back of the bag as straps.
4-27-00Give the children a large piece of paper and lots of different colors of paint . Then have them use sticks, rocks, leaves, pine cones to paint or imprint on the paper. You could also draw a tent shape on the paper and have them use the objects to paint the tents.
