Noodle Ghost

Halloween is just around the corner, so we started our "Ghost" theme this week in our Preschool@Home!

LB(4) loved this fun craft, and I loved how easy it was!

Supplies:

• 1 piece black construction paper
• White crayon
• Glue
• Dry Noodles (any kind you have on hand)
• Googly eyes

Craft Time!

• Draw a GHOST shape on the black paper using the white crayon.
• Then help your child follow the white line with the glue so that the whole shape has glue on it.
• Put your noodles in a bowl. I found this strange noodle at the store called Radiatore. I thought it would be good for this craft because it's kind of squiggly like a ghost. :) Any noodle would look great!

• Give your child a bowl of the noddles and let them place them on the glue:

• Next, have your child glue on the 2 googly eyes (if you don't have googly eyes, you can just glue noodles on for eyes. Or draw eyes!)
• Then have them draw a smile with the white crayon and put glue on it, and noodles on the glue:

•  Let it all dry!

have fun!

Green Salad Craft

Our final activity for our "Fruits & Vegetables" week was this fun craft!

LB likes salad, but he usually doesn't like a whole lot of vegetables in it.

So this was a fun way to show him how pretty & colorful a salad can look when there are lots of veggies in it!

Supplies:

• Construction paper - Green, white, yellow, orange, red, etc.
• 1 piece of white cardstock
• Marker
• Glue

Prep Work:

• Using different colors of paper, cut out small vegetable shapes. Here are some ideas:
• orange - carrots
• yellow - onions or banana peppers
• green - celery
• red - tomatoes or red peppers
• white - mushrooms or onions 

• Draw a plate shape on the white cardstock and glue it onto another piece of construction paper:

Craft Time!

• Hand the green paper to your child and have them rip it! The ripped pieces will be the lettuce:

•  Next, give them the glue and have them glue the pieces onto the plate shape:

• Then place dots of glue all over the lettuce and have them put the vegetable pieces on.
• Lastly, give them the glue and let them just squirt it all over the top. This is the salad dressing! :)

HAVE FUN!
