Contact_FullName: Ireland Contact_Email: lovecrazy@msn.com date:: 5/9/02 Area: farm-Art Idea: You or the kids can cut out different animals like sheep or turkey or chickens then the children can glue cotton balls to the sheep and feathers to the turkeys or the chickens.
9-13-00A chubby little snowman had a carrot for a nose The kids love this if you add hand movements. .be creative!!
9-8-00This works great with toddlers and 2s! First check with parents for chocolate allergies! Give children sturdy paper and a large spoonful or two of chocolate pudding. (The individual snack cups work great.) Let children run tractors and plastic farm animals through the "mud". The pudding dries into a neat texture and the kids have a ball!
8-15-00During our unit on "Farms", I have the children paint a sturdy piece of cardboard green and a pint-sized milk carton red. I cut doors in the carton to make a barn and we glue it on the cardboard. We use a cardboard bathroom tissue roll for a silo and top it with half of a plastic Easter egg. This is glued next to the barn. We place shredded paper in the loft to look like hay. Then we glue purchased plastic farm animals around on the cardboard base.
7-24-00Take out a large piece of butcher block paper and give the children various objects you would find on a farm. Corn on the cob, hay tied at end, apple halves, wheat, garden vegetables, etc. Give the children plates of various colors of paint and allow them to paint with the farm objects. Hang their work of art on the wall during your farm segment.
7-21-00A nice art project I have done with my 4's during farm week is to glue a pink pig cutout onto green paper and draw a fence using magic markers around the pig, Give each child a small bowl of chocolate pudding (Jell-O Instant) and allow the children to finger paint their pig in the mud. It is fun to lick your fingers clean after this project.
5-30-00Footprint chicks: children take off shoes and socks, put one foot in yellow paint and make yellow foot print on art paper. The heel is the chick's 'head'. Use orange paint to add beak and chicken feet, black thumbprint for eye! So cute! Teachers can make big white or black footprint for the 'mother hen'
4-27-00Torn paper pigs: We gave the children an outline drawing of a pig and many types of pink paper (construction, tissue, etc..) They tore small pieces of the paper and glued them on to their pigs. The pigs have a neat texture and they look great.
ideaEnlarge and photocopy an outline picture of a sheep. Have the children bubble print on the sheep picture, it looks like colored wool. Pictures can then be used to decorate a farm scene.
Date: 1-19-00Use a cutout of a sheep and glue onto a paper plate. Spread glue onto the sheep's body and let the children put on the "wool" using dry oatmeal. ideaAnimal Cracker Art Draw a farm scene with any type of art medium (barn, trees, grass, sky, etc.). Glue animal crackers on the farm scene. It's a very easy project for small children. **If you want to make it more simple, you can provide a cut-out barn shape to glue on before drawing. Date: 9-29-99ideaMy Idea is a bird house from a milk carton. you need paint, any color Popsicle sticks, one milk carton, and some bird seed. the adult cuts the hole in the front for the bird to get in and let the children paint it whatever color they want then glue the Popsicle sticks to the top side by side in a slant across the hole top on both sides. punch a hole in the top and hang some string on it, put some bird seed in it and the kids can see the birds eating. My kids loved this they even learned the different birds that came to eat!! Date Submitted: 9-19-99Date: 12-1-98Apple Turkeys You will need 1 apple per child, round toothpicks about 6-7 per child), a piece of brown, sturdy paper cut out like the shape of a turkey head...we did it like a bubble 'J') and LOTS of gum drops all different colors) Cut a slit in the bottom of the apple (with the apple on its side) and that will be where you slide the head of the turkey. Use the tooth picks to stack about 3 or 4 gum drops on 4-5 tooth picks.. then stick them into the top of the apple for the tail feathers.. remember, the apple is on its side and the bottom is the front of the turkey... then break the remaining tooth picks in half and us as feet. One in front and two in back..to balance the turkey... VERY CUTE...plus it is edible.. Date: 12-1-98Materials: -toy tractors -tempera paint (any color) -construction/poster paper Have you kids run their tractors through the tempera paint and then onto paper for great tractor prints! 10-21-98 Name: Rhonda 5-1-98 Name: shelley E-Mail: swk65@aol.com Add oatmeal to tempera paint.

After it has dried, use the box cutter to cut a door and window in the carton. When the door and window are cut out the child may complete the barn by painting the roof black and outlining the door and window in black. 4-2-98 Name: Sue E-Mail: kup@ewol.com Using assorted farm animal cookie cutters very (from Walmart craft dept.,very inexpensive) have children dip cutters in differnt colored paint and press on paper. 3-29-98 Name: Mary E-Mail: teacoll@juno.com Ahead of time prepare chicken cut outs.

They can even paint them! Be sure to provide extras to eat also! 3-9-98 Daylene Cows and Grass Provide each child with a white construction paper cow cut-out. Provide black bingo-dabbers for the children to make spots on their cows. Have the children glue their cows onto blue construction paper. The next day, when the cows are dry, take the children, their pictures, and glue outside to a grassy area. Talk to the children about how cows like to eat grass. Have the children pick grass and glue it onto their pictures. 3-9-98 Daylene Horseshoe Prints If you are lucky enough to live in "farm country" go to a horse and tack store and buy some real horseshoes. Cover your art area table completely with newspaper. Place the horseshoes all around on the table. Let the children paint the horseshoes and then press paper on the top of them to make COOL prints! If you do not have access to horseshoes, here is an alternative idea. Buy some big sponges and cut them into horseshoe shapes. Let the children sponge paint with the shapes. 3-9-98 Submitted By: Diana E-Mail: BooBear128@aol.com Moo Cow Painting Materials: Sawhorse Sack of disposable latex gloves (Gloves hang approximately 16" [40.64 cm] from the base.) Two 2" (5.08 cm) C clamps (Cost is approximately $2.00 each at a hardware store.) Liquid tempera paint Straight pin for punching holes in fingers of glove Large, flat boxes to fit under the sawhorse Newspaper to cover the floor Take two latex gloves and fill with liquid tempera paint. Add enough water so the paint is evenly dispersed into the fingers. Rubber band the top after filling, and place in container to take to the udder base frame. Unclamp the top and with a friend (it's easier with two), insert the glove and C clamp it at the top portion. The glove should dangle freely. Do the same with the other glove. Remove the rubber bands. Cover the floor with newspaper. Lay sheets of paper in the cardboard boxes. Puncture the glove fingers with a hole using a straight pin. You may want to make two small holes in the finger. Pull and squeeze the fingers of paint as if you were milking a cow. The paint splattering on the paper makes groovy designs! After the glove is empty, reopen the clamp and remove and discard.
