Christmas Art Activites for the Keiki!

Posted on December 12, 2014 by Ashley Takitani | 0 Comments

Here's a sneak peek at our art activities we have planned for Second Saturday Art tomorrow morning! We'll be making candy cane mice and Christmas trees!

Here's what you need:

Supplies

First the candy cane mouse!

1. Cut out green felt in a water drop shape. Note to cut 2 slits for the ears to fit through.

2. Cut out red felt for ears and a little nose.

3. Glue eyes and nose on. Pull ears through the slit.

4. Push the candy cane through the loop the ears made on the bottom of the mouse. See photo below.

Second, the Christmas Tree! It can be a fun photo frame or an ornament!

This one's really easy...

1. Cut out 3 strips of poster board or construction paper. 2 a little longer (about 6"), one shorter (about 5") for the bottom of the triangle.

2. Cut out a brown stump.

3. Glue the corners together and add the stump! We used a glue stick.

4. You can either cut out a star or use these little stars we found in our crafts bin :)

5. Decorate with sequins, polka-dots, anything you want. For these, we used tacky glue.

second saturday art: wind socks

Posted on July 11, 2011 by ashley | 0 Comments

For July's Second Saturday Art class, the kids made wind socks! It was the perfect day for these, because it was pretty breezy out! Missed Second Saturday Art? Here's how to easily make one at home...

Supplies:
1. A long rectangular piece of white construction paper.
2. Tissue paper, cut into strips.
3. Glue
4. Pens, crayons
5. Yarn
6. Hole Puncher
7. Stapler

First draw an ocean scene on the construction paper. We also cut out some fish shapes out of old magazines to glue into their fish scene.

Flip the drawing over and glue the strips of tissue paper to the bottom of the paper. Make sure you're gluing on the back (blank) side of the paper. Note: Glue strips so the colored/printed side is face down.
Next staple the ends together, punch 2 holes in the top and tie a 12-inch piece of yarn through the holes.

And you have a wind sock! Hang it out on the porch and watch it blow in the Maui breeze...
