HEART MOBILS
|
Using the large silhouette patterns cut out one large black silhouette of President Washington’s and President Lincoln’s head per child. |
|
Next cut out some large red hearts and set them out with the silhouettes along with some glue and glue brushes. |
|
Have your children glue the two heads on either side of a red heart. |
|
Hang the hearts down from the ceiling of your room so that they can be seen from both sides.
|
|
STAR FRAMES
|
Give your children one red and one blue paper frame. |
|
Let children decorate their frames with silver or white stars. (these can be with stickers or stamped on with white paint) |
|
Have children glue each silhouette on a piece of background paper and then glue their frames on over the pictures. |
|
FINGERPAINTING BACKGROUNDS
| |
Have children finger paint with red or blue (or both) paint on a piece of finger painting paper. |
| |
When dry, give your children large black silhouettes of each president to glue onto their paintings.
|
|
COIN PICTURES
|
Cut out medium sized circles from white heavy paper. |
|
Let your children take two circles and paint one using copper paint and one using silver paint. |
|
When dry, have children glue a medium silhouette of Lincoln on the copper circle (to represent a Lincoln penny) and a medium silhouette of Washington on the silver circle (to represent a Washington nickel). |
|
BOOK COVERS
|
You could glue the silhouettes on covers for books about Lincoln and Washington. |
|
Or you could do rubbings of the heads for a book cover.
|
|
SILHOUETTE RUBBINGS
|
Using the smaller patterns, cut out heads using light weight cardboard or tag board. |
|
Let your children take turns, placing the cutouts under a piece of white paper and rubbing a black crayon over the cutouts. |
|
PRESIDENT PUPPETS
|
Using the medium patterns cut out black paper silhouettes of each president for your children. |
|
Have children glue the heads on a large craft stick and use as stick puppets.
|
|
PRESIDENT’S BOARDER
|
Using the small patterns, cut out small president silhouettes from blue paper. |
|
Have your children help you glue the heads on a red boarder, alternating with star stickers. |
|
SILHOUETTE FRAME
|
Using the large silhouette patterns, cut out the two heads from the center a large piece of red or blue construction paper. |
|
You may need to use small nail scissors for this. |
 |
Leave the rest of the paper intact and use it as a frame over a painting of a flag or a finger painting by the child. |
