Put a dab of white paint in center of black paper and fold. Have children explain the "nightmare" they have just created. Open-ended art project that includes language development.

These look really cool in the dark. Contact_FullName: Paula Contact_Email: Area: day and night -art Idea: Paper Plate suns: You will need: paper plates, yellow paint, and yellow construction paper triangles. Let children finger paint the paper plate yellow. When dry, let them glue the triangles around the plate to create a sun. Contact_FullName: Peggy Contact_Email: maplest1@msn.com date:: 01/21/02 Area: Day/night-art Idea: During this unit we sew pillows out of soft material. The children decorate them with permanent markers, then stuff them. Lots of fun to have finished for our pj day.
2-5-01The children love doing this because they can shake or kick the can. It's great for all ages. Put a piece of black construction paper in a coffee can. Next put 2-3 marbles or ping pong balls into yellow paint. Then put them in the coffee can and shake or kick the can with the lid on. To make it look like a shooting star, glue some yellow construction paper stars on the paper.

Date: 2-26-00Night Shade Use an old window shade or piece of heavy tarp or oilcloth, etc. Have the children paint it a dark blue or black. When dry, help them punch holes in it with bobby pins. When hung in a sunny window, the 'stars' will shine.
Date: 1-31-00Midnight Art What you need: Paper Plate Crayons Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange or any other bright crayon Black Tempra Paint Sharp Pencil Procedure: Color the plate with the crayons. Make a large row of one color and then blend the next color to where the other color stops. Like a rainbow. Cover up the whole plate with the colors. Then paint a thin layer of black paint over the crayon colors. While the paint is still wet, take the sharp pencil and draw pictures or write into the paint. There may be a buildup of paint on the pencil, so you may have to clean it off every now and then. When you begin drawing the colors underneath will appear. Let dry and then hang up to display. They are pretty neat!
Date: 1-30-00Stars: Let the children paint a paper towel tube with dark blue paint and add stars when dry. Cover end with black tissue paper and hold on with a rubber band. Poke holes with a pin or paper clip that is opened up. Hold up to light and see the "stars"!
