In Messy Art:
We did a Dia de los Muertos craft this week. We used Creatology sticky back foam sheets. You draw your picture out in pen. Then you go over it again and press hard with the pen to leave an indent in the foam.
I then showed the kids how to apply the paint lightly (non-diluted tempera), holding the brush almost parallel to the foam sheet so as not to get too much paint in the groves of the drawing. This is good for teaching kids how to control the paint brush and about brush strokes.
Then we decorated with sequence, glitter, feathers and pompoms.
I like the one on the right... not sure what he's supposed to be but he's waving at you.
