For President's Day art, you can do coin rubbings with pencils or crayons. Make simple presidential silhouettes on black paper to cut out, then mount on black paper.  This works great for older preschoolers who can practice cutting on line skills.

When talking about Washington, paint each child's arm brown and hand and fingers green. Have them put it on construction paper to make a tree. After, they can dip their fingers in red paint to make cherries. The kids love getting messy!

When talking about Lincoln, gather many sticks from outside and let the children glue them onto paper to make log cabins. The kids can get very creative with this. They can add saran wrap for windows or any other decorations.

Clean and dry milk cartons from school lunchroom. Staple top back together to form a peak for your cabin. Next cover all four sides with light brown construction paper using white school glue. Cut out two triangles to cover areas inset in the roof. Cut out a door and draw a square on another side. Glue small stick pretzels on all four sides. Glue a shiny penny with Lincoln facing out in the window square. Leave cut out door open. Don't cut door completely out. Measure to cut out a rectangle for the roof. You may glue it or staple the roof on and even add a chimney if you like. My kindergarten class loved this as did the rest of the school staff.

A simple and fun President's Day activity is to do rubbings of the face sides of coins by placing paper over the coin and rubbing it with a crayon.
