Autumn is definitely my favorite season, not only because it's a beautiful time of year, but also because I love all fall-related crafts and activities. That being said, there is a limit to how many projects one can do involving leaves, corn and pumpkins. This week, I decided to focus on another interesting aspect of fall: the migration of monarch butterflies. We created a whole slue of these gorgeous creatures for the art wall.
...This was the complete project. Pre-K and preschool made larger butterflies out of butcher paper and tempera paint (the go-to combination for all ECE art teachers!).
...Older toddlers worked with a variety of collage materials, such as tissue paper, felt and construction paper...
...my kids worked with liquid watercolors, sea salt and glitter...
...I also included a little bit of information about the monarch's journey and what route they take...
I think this one might be my favorite. I love the use of color and the pattern this student created. My students had a lot of fun with this project and I think I'm going to do variations of it in the future.
