It suggests using spray bottles but you can use paintbrushes to paint the sidewalk with this liquid chalk. The chalk paint will mold because cornstarch is a food product. The author mentions this in the article.

Liquid Chalk:
         Ingredients:
                      Cornstarch
                      Food coloring   
                      Water
                      Spray bottles (optional)
To a container of your choosing, add 1/3 cup of cornstarch. Add water until cornstarch is liquid and then add large amount of food coloring.

This website is very thorough and this recipe seems to be very simple. I am going to try to make this later on. I will upload a video of how it went. It sounds like an adventure. Students will need help from an adult to make this recipe because it requires stove top cooking.
Play Dough:
         Ingredients:
          1 cup Flour
          Food Coloring   
          1 cup Water
          1/3 cup Salt
          2 teaspoons Cream Of Tartar 
          1 tablespoon Vegetable Oil
Mix together all ingredients in a saucepan. Cook on low/medium heat, stirring until the mixture thickens and gathers around spoon. Put dough on wax paper or plate to cool.

Use a piece of paper and draw with simple shapes to draw the animal. Simple shapes such as circles, squares, rectangles, ovals, triangles, etc...

If your student needs extra help drawing a certain animal. I suggest looking at Art Hub for kids on YouTube. This channel is great for drawing tutorials. They have a great amount of choices for their animal videos too. ]]> 2020-04-12 16:50:06 UTC https://padlet.com/scantrell9/agce9bbhr8xr/wish/503636488 scantrell9 https://padlet.com/scantrell9/agce9bbhr8xr/wish/503638796 Students will need blocks and drawing materials for this idea.

You will need paper, a stick, tape, and a pen or pencil to draw. 
First draw the puppet shape onto the paper, then cut out design. Remember when drawing your puppet you will only be able to see the outline around the shape if you want to see details like eyes or a mouth you will need to cut them out of the paper to let the light shine through. Here is an example of a shadow paper puppet. This puppeteer suggest card stock paper but any color paper will work, but a thicker paper will be better than thin paper. ]]> 2020-04-12 17:07:55 UTC https://padlet.com/scantrell9/agce9bbhr8xr/wish/503647425 scantrell9 https://padlet.com/scantrell9/agce9bbhr8xr/wish/515768980 A self-portrait is a picture of yourself.
