Got Coffee Filters? Beautiful (super easy) Spooky Silhouette

With the recent blood moon and lunar eclipse, this lesson fit right in with the season! 

When they are finished, they can decorate the outside with construction paper crayons

This beautiful and very seasonal art...designed by my 4 yr old with a sharpie,

only lasted 2 days...so sad

This adorable seasonal sharpie art is two weeks old and showing no signs of decay...clearly you should get yourself some coffee filters and markers and create some awesome seasonal ART today 

This is how I tell them how to fold it "First to a taco, then to a pie, third fold's a pizza, now give it a try"

                                        I left out the picture of the next step. Color it!   
                                                 then...................

Spraaaaayyyyyyy!!! front and back! (on a piece of paper so it doesn't get everywhere!)

                                           Fold the white paper and  Smoosh it!!

                                                   

                             Gently open the coffee filter and lay it on the paper to dry

Trace the coffee filter with a white crayon

Draw a line inside that line and cut on the inside line. You can add a hill if you want.

glue the coffee filter with a thin line of glue

Then for the fun, decorate with sharpies and BOOM silhouette amazingness!

Best Project Ever!

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!!!
