Paper Plate Animals

Image
Paper plate animal crafts have always been a favourite in our house. Create your favourite animal on a paper plate. In the past we have made a tortoise, hare/rabbit, frog (at school), butterfly and lion. Use paint, felt tips, crayons or pieces of paper and glue or stickers, feathers, sequins etc You could read a favourite animal story then make the animal character. Use the animal plate to act out the story. Eg Read The Hare and the Tortoise - make tortoise and hare, then you could act out the story. Tortoise - We made the tortoise sticking on coloured paper for the shell and coloured card for the head, feet and tail. Read The Selfish Tortoise - make the tortoise.

Skittle Rainbow Experiment

The skittle rainbow experiment looks at sugar dissolving in warm water and osmosis. Place skittles around the edge of a white plate, alternate the colours making a rainbow pattern with the skittles.

Why is the colour coming off the sweets? Talk about the coloured sugar coating is dissolving due to the warm water and we can see the sugar in the water. The coloured sugar is moving and creating a straight line to the centre due to osmosis. The colour particles from the skittles move from a high concentration - the sweets, to a low concentration, through a permeable solution. Thomas enjoyed swirling the plate and making the colours go a brown colour! Don't forget to save a few skittles to eat as a treat. 😉

Stickman Comic Strip

Image
We read Stickman by Julia Donaldson and have already made Stickman and his Sticklady love out of sticks. Scholastic have a free downloadable comic strip sheet which I printed off but you could just draw some boxes onto a4 paper with room for the writing underneath the picture. We thought about where the comic strip story should begin and what would happen to stickman. Then Thomas drew and wrote the comic strip all on his own. We coloured in the comic strip together the next day. We are going to act out the story with our homemade stickman. We are also going to make the comic strip out of some coloured clay I have and we might try to do an animated film so watch this space.
