Fun with insects!

Being a  family childcare provider with a not so big budget

 I am always on the look out for supplies on sale. While looking 

through the clearances at Micheals I came across 

packs of card stock shapes marked down to 99 cents!

Needless to say I bought  lots of assorted shapes.  

Today we got out the pack of insect shapes. I had the kids

pick 4 of their favorite insects. I put a small piece of double 

sided tape on each one and we stuck them on a piece

of white construction paper. Then I set out the DO A DOT painters. 

These wonderful painters are available at 

Micheals (as well as teaching stores and Amazon). I use my 

40% off  Micheals coupon as they are a bit pricey, but with the coupon

  reasonable. The kids covered their paper using lots of different 

colors.  We then carefully peeled off the shapes. What fun to see the 

insects appear all in white! After they had dried the kids added

 faces to the insects.
