After reading Goodnight Moon, my preschoolers made this cute craft. This idea came from a Mailbox magazine. Keeping with the moon theme, I also read I Took the Moon for a Walk later in the week, and we then created this project... (idea from I Heart Crafty Things- a great blog with lots of wonderful craft ideas)
This one says, "If I could take the moon for a walk, we would go to my house." I did the writing for the kids, but they did the precious artwork. Here is another one...
This one would take the moon to the zoo!
Finally, I read the story Happy Birthday Moon and students completed this craft which also comes from a Mailbox magazine.
Students got to paint their moon with a mixture of white paint and flour. To complete the moon, they added "craters" using the lid of a water bottle! So much fun and SO cute!
What a cute craft for goodnight moon and I love the idea of painting with flour and water for the moon with the craters. Thanks for sharing! I am your newest follower! : ) Please come see my blog too, I am teaching a unit on space this week and I will keep these ideas in mind! : )
ReplyDeleteIs the flour and paint equal parts?

ReplyDeleteI am also interested in knowing the "recipe" for the flour and paint moon carters
ReplyDeleteI, too, would like to know the recipe for the flour and glue...
ReplyDeleteI found a recipe for it. Mix 1/4 C white paint with 3 TBSP flour.
ReplyDeleteWondering if the paint is tempera or acrylic?
