While customizing my twitter page I came
across some fun photos from last summer. I
thought I’d share them here. I was looking for
some nice, large modern art for our den and a
girlfriend suggested that I let the boys make
the art by rolling around in paint on large
canvases. I wasn’t sure about it at first, but
after we started we had so much fun! Below
are pictures documenting our modern art
project. The boys loved the experience and I
LOVE my art (and the memories attached).

It started out with the boys walking across the canvases with

I put the canvases on a large tarp to protect the driveway, but
encouraged one or two hand and foot prints on the concrete for
memory’s sake.

The boys had fun mixing their own colors as well.
Soon they became comfortable enough with the paint to start
rolling around in it. My girlfriend had suggested that they roll
around naked, but my oldest was too modest for that and my
youngest insisted on a diaper (better anyway since I wouldn’t
have felt comfortable sharing the photos otherwise).

And here’s the final look… just what I was going for! Wait, make
that BETTER than what I was going for!
that BETTER than what I was going for!
I’ve had lots of people ask what kind of canvases I used… they were the simple, pre-
stretched/framed canvases from any local art store. The boys were able to walk and roll on
them with no problem. If you try this I would recommend guiding your children across the
canvas near the end so as not to end up with a big, mucky, grey finished product. And wash
them off quickly (particularly their hair)… I wished I had paid more attention to washing their
hair… baby oil takes dried paint out, but NOTHING but time takes baby oil out!

Preschool Pet Crafts: 3-D Pet Craft by JoBrielyn http://creativekidsideas.com/ |
This article will teach how to make a 3-D pet craft from a recycled toilet paper roll and scrap materials. The project will coordinate nicely with pet
theme preschool lessons. Instructions will also be included for creating a unique class bulletin board to display the finished preschool pet crafts.
Talk About Pets
Preschool pet crafts coordinate well with a variety of preschool pet lessons and activities. Children love animals and enjoy making crafts. This project
combines the two to help kids make their own 3-D pets. Preschoolers will use coloring, cutting and gluing skills for this craft. The project may also be
used to help practice color and shape recognition.
This article explains how to create the 3-D dog shown in the above photo. With only a few slight alterations to the body parts, the template may be
used to create other preschool pet crafts, as well.
Teacher Preparation for the Preschool Pet Craft
To prepare for this pet craft, the teacher must print out the Preschool 3-D Pet Craft Template located in the Early Childhood Education Media
Gallery. Print a copy for each child. The template has all of the pet body parts drawn to the correct scale for the project.
Materials Needed
To create this 3-D pet craft, the following items are needed:
•Recycled toilet paper rolls (1 per child)
•Scraps of paper or felt
•Googly eyes (optional)
•Markers or crayons
•Scissors
•Glue
How to Make the 3-D Pet Craft
1. Give the children their own copy of the printed template and crayons or markers. Ask them to color and decorate the body parts anyway they
desire. To help the kids practice colors and shapes, you may also choose to give specific directions. For example: Color the dog's head yellow. Use
the brown to draw spots (or circles) on his legs.
2. Once the body parts are colored, have the children practice cutting out the shapes.
3. Provide each child with a toilet paper roll. Stand it on end to serve as the base of the 3-D pet.
4. Help preschoolers glue each of the main body parts in the correct locations to create a dog.
Note: To make the back legs protrude from the sides, a fold must be made for each of them. Fold the legs along the dotted lines to make a tab and
then glue only the tabs onto the toilet paper roll.
5. Give the kids googly eyes, scraps of material, paper or crayons to add eyes, nose, mouth and other details to the 3-D pet.
Use the Preschool Pet Crafts to Make a Pet Shop Window Bulletin Board
Prepare the board ahead of time by covering with a light color (light blue, white or beige will work well). Then arrange long, thin strips of brown paper
to create a window frame effect across the entire bulletin board. Add other details such as precut animal shapes, bird cages, shelves, and other
items seen through a pet shop window. Add a short phrase which coincides with the pet lessons the children have been learning.
After the 3-D pets are complete and the glue is dry, show them off on the class bulletin board. Attaching them to the board will not damage them if
done properly. Place a small tack in your hand and then reach your hand inside (from the bottom) of the toilet paper roll. Push it gently into the back
of the cardboard roll and tack it into place on the bulletin board. When it's time for the children to take the 3-D pets home, simply remove the tack
and the pinhole will be barely visible on the backside of the project.
This preschool pet crafts project for making a 3-D pet is sure to be a huge hit with kids and will add a fun touch to any class bulletin board.
