"The secret of good teaching is to regard the child's intelligence as a fertile field in which seeds may be sown, to grow under the heat of flaming imagination."

Make & Take Monday

Sponge Printed Lights
Materials: a kitchen sponge, washable markers, scissors, white paper, paint, tape or glue and black construction paper.

Directions:
1. Draw a bulb shape on the sponge. Cut out shape and wash the marker off.
2. Stamp the sponge into paint. Use bright colorsand glitter for your paint. Teach the children to slap the sponge on the paper and FREEZE. This will help get nice prints for the effect.  Do another color…and repeat. (You could have a different sponge for each color of paint or teach children to blot the sponge between uses.)

3. Let the bulbs dry.4.  Add squiggly circles at the neck of each bulb. 5. Connect the bulbs with a marker “wire” 6. Trim and tape or glue to a black piece of paper.  WOW! What a beatiful display of lights!
