So with the end of the school year upon us, I needed a good simple lesson, that would be fun and EASY! This project is good for kinder through fifth! YES they ALL love this project! I told them it is something they can do at home this summer too! We have had more fun this week doing this, I think they would be happy doing it next week too!
All you need is coffee filters, a spray bottle, markers, and some glue
First fold the coffee filter like this
Then spray about 3-4 times on the FRONT and the BACK and squish it flat and smooth
Then use markers to make a creative design with DOTS!
Every dot has to be done on the front AND THE BACK.
Then CAREFULLY open to reveal the gorgeous design!!!! The best thing is that the whole project only takes one class period!
I let each student make two circle designs
Then glue onto a piece of paper and create something!! The posssibilities of "circle things" is endless! I have LOVED seeing everyone's creative ideas!!!
Monster Truck
Ferris Wheel
Super hot soccer ball
Pizza!
Flowers
Headphones!
Stained glass window on a church wall!
Crystal Ball!!
Ice Cream Cone!
Glasses!
Another Monster Truck (they were popular)
Gumball Machines!
What a great idea! You just gav me the inspiration, I was surfing around for. Thanks a lot. :-)
ReplyDeleteVery cool! And great to see the variety of responses : )
ReplyDeleteWow- so cool- I love the open-ended creative possibilities the students have with this. Can I ask- using the markers on the wet coffee filter- it doesn't 'wreck' the markers at all?
ReplyDeleteThat is a fabulous question. I think it depends on the volume of kids you have using the markers. I have done this project with over 700 kids this week and have only noticed a few "casualties" with the markers.Some kids have done up to six of them! There are certain colors they go crazy over that have started to dry up, but for the most part, the markers are holding up well.
DeleteDo you need to use "permanent markers"? I've noticed that the washable markers even with marking both sides are not strong enough. The colors in half of the radial design are clearly less intense. Even with new washable markers.
DeleteLOVE!! I Have ONE more lesson with my big kids tomorrow & I think I'll do this one:) (Hope I can get myself to the store for coffee filters today.)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing......easy prep lessons are the best to have on file for days like end of the year.
Perfect! Pinning. Doing with some grade next week :)
ReplyDeleteSo fun. What a great way to change up the coffee filter project. We teach art in the hospital with Arts For Life and the coffee filters are always a hit. This will be a great way to tweak it. Thanks for sharing.

ReplyDeleteThis is such a creative use for coffee filters! I'll be featuring this on The Crafty Crow!
ReplyDeleteFinally, something different for that coffee filter project! I've seen coffee filters and markers over and over again, but this takes it to another level which is great!
ReplyDeleteGreat project. Looks like something that could be done at the end of the year when you're looking for a fun project to keep the kids busy.
ReplyDelete!!!!Wow!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow such an amazing article i read this and its tell us how to complete our project and how to paint on paper with new and easy way thanks for sharing rephrase sentence online .
ReplyDeleteGreat project! My kids are studying cathedrals and these make beautiful rose windows! I'm probably the only one that didn't realize this in the first place, but it's essential to use non-washable markers with this project unless you're going for a tie-dye look.
ReplyDeleteso do you use permanent markers?
