TENT CITY

By using your imagination to determine the

shape and materials, you will learn to think and

improve your concentration skills. You will learn

to cooperate with others when you have

someone help you build the Tent City.

You will also discover patience when the "walls"

fall down and you have to put them back up.

material needed:

chairs, blankets, and sheets

let's get started:

Choose a room in the house

that has a lot or free space.

Place the chairs in the area they want to build their tent city in. Any

number of chairs can be used. Two to four is usually a good number for

most spaces. The chairs can be placed across from each other - in a

straight line - in a circle - or in no order.

Starting with the heaviest blanket or sheet, drape it over the chairs.

Continue draping the remaining ones using the chairs. Tying the ends

around a doorknob or tucking it under another piece of furniture will add

more room.

When the Tent City is up, play inside it. You can pretend it's a fort in the

wilderness, a home, a job or any other place you can think of.

PIctures

Scratch

If you're a Budding artist, you will develop your

creativity and a sense of pride when this

project is completed. You will increase your

hand/eye coordination. If you use a still life or

picture to get ideas to draw from, your eye for

detail will become sharper. If you choose to do

an abstract picture or something from your

imagination, your personal sense of style will

become more developed.

material needed:

white paper, crayons, waxed paper, toothpick or something

to scratch with, iron, towel, ironing board or a flat surface

let's get started:

Color the white paper.

Use a crayon to divide the paper into small or large sections. Color each

section a different color except black.

With a black crayon, color the entire sheet that was just colored with

different colors, black.

Place the paper on a flat surface or ironing board.

Cover the paper with waxed paper.

Cover with a towel and iron. Go over it a few times. The waxed paper will

melt onto the colored sheet.

When cool, use a toothpick to scratch out a picture.

Some ideas: Building a still life or using a picture is a good idea for younger children. Other children

can draw pictures from their imagination such as birds and clouds in the sky, cars, animals, etc.

OR PICK

Building houses, fences, barns or sidewalks is

easy to do using Popsicle sticks. For beginners,

a fence or ramp will be the easiest to do. This

activity helps improve hand/eye coordination

and concentration. World famous architects

may have starting out building stick houses.

material needed:

popsicle sticks, glue

let's get started:

Decide what to build.

The basic of this activity is to glue the Popsicle sticks together. To build

a wall for a house - glue them together on the sides. Use five to ten

Popsicle sticks for each wall. The front of the house will use two panels of

two to seven Popsicle's to leave room for a door. Experienced builders can

leave room for a window. Build a panel for the floor and the roof.

When all of the panels are put together, glue them together to shape into

a house (or other structure).

Variations: Use toothpicks and glue. Make a house of cards without the glue.

STICK

SCULPTURES

SOAP

This is also called a "feely" sculpture because

you are using your sense of touch to create it.

You will stimulate your hand/eye coordination.

material needed:

a hand, a bar of soap, a table knife to carve with (doesn't have to

be a sharp knife), optional pen or pencil, water, paper towel

let's get started:

Wrap your hand around the bar of soap

until it feels comfortable.

Use the knife to carve out the area not occupied by your hand. It may

help to trace the outline of the hand onto the bar of soap then carve it.

Once the basic outline is carved and the bar of soap starts to take shape,

you don't have to hold it in your hand any longer. Carve the soap in areas

that are pleasing to you. Put your hand back on the soap if you need help

finding places to carve out. Carve the soap bar where it isn't comfortable

in your hand.

Carve a base so your soap sculpture will stand up.

When done, smooth out the edges with water and paper towels.

Let dry.
