Chalk the Walk 

You may have seen this outdoor art activity spreading across the country and all over social media. Let’s bring some cheer and uplifting messages to Burlington Township! If you have sidewalk chalk, head outside and draw on your driveway or sidewalk. Rainbows, flowers, smiles and more are sure to brighten our spirits. Try using painter's tape to add a geometric color blocking design. Add messages of thanks and hope for our community! 

Handprint Fish 

Materials: paper, watercolor paint, brush, water, scissors, glue, construction paper 

If paint is not available use crayons and/or markers. 

Step 1: Trace your hands three times on a piece of paper. Spread out your fingers and trace carefully and slowly. Paint the hands with watercolor paint. To produce a bright color be sure to make circles or go "round and round" with your brush in the paint pan. Remember to hold your paintbrush like a pencil. 

     
Step 2: As the paint is drying begin to create an underwater scene for the fish. Cut out waves, seaweed, and sand. What else could you add to the sand? Seashells? A starfish? 

Glue down all of the pieces. Feel free to use markers to add the waves and seaweed if construction paper is not available.  

Step 3: Cut out the painted hands. Remember the song that we sing in class..."Follow the line, every time, do your best, clean up your mess." Begin to glue the hands to the underwater scene. Glue the tail first and layer the other hands overlapping as you go. 

Step 4: Add any other details including an eye and mouth. Optional: follow the step by step drawing directions to add seashells to your work.
