I cut out different colors of paper into squares and had students decorate them. With the help of an adult, I helped them staple straws on each corner to make the kite sturdy. Lastly, we glued some strips of tissue paper as part of the kites tail!

This Beaded Wind Chimes activity is such a great project for our students. Not only does it give them a great chance to practice their fine motor skills, but it also helps them stay calm and focused for a good stretch of time. The best part? They genuinely enjoyed every single step of the process and loved making something beautiful with their own hands. It’s amazing to see how a simple craft can be both fun and beneficial all at once!

I used Canva to make my own puzzle outlines and images (I chose 4 different pictures and made them all 9 puzzle pieces). With these outlines I made it one activity to color in their image. In another activity I also printed out box outlines and have students decorate them. I put them together by using tape to laminate the puzzle pieces and cut them out and also cut out the box and tape it together.

Before starting the activity, I had students listening to the story Oh, The Places You’ll Go. This helps get them in the mood to imagine a place they would create. The process art would include stencils and markers. An adult will help put the straw and brown rectangular pieces together to make a hot air balloon imported by the book.

For our creative art today, I drew a circle on a piece of paper for each of our students and let their imaginations take over.

Our creative kids came up with smiley face, a whole person with a creative hair style, a red hot sun, a rainbow ball, a cat in a bubble land, a gumball machine, and more… such a joy to see their creations🩵🩷
