Earth Day project and Mother's Day!!

Happy Sunday Friends!  Tomorrow is Earth Day!  What are your plans for the day?

 

 

We have been been working a super cute and EASY project!

 

All you need are these materials:

 

Coffee filter- largest you can find

green and blue washable markers

spray bottle with water

area to spray

 

Have your students color the coffee filter with the blue and green markers filling in the whole thing.  The less white the better and the brighter the color the better.

 

Then spray the filter with water- just a little bit.  The water will absorb the colors together giving it an Earthy look.

 

We also wrote an Earth Day expository paragraph on how we will help our Earth.  We attached our "Earths" next to the writing and added glitter for the stars (now what kid doesn't love a little bit of glitter!  My class actually said- we get to use glitter?? hehe)

 

 

And they turned out like this:

(these are actually pics from last year- haven't snapped a pic of this years just yet :)

 

 

Super easy, fun, and a great keepsake!
