Activity 27 Artistic Education (Colombian Curriculum) Crafts: These crafts projects are for preschool, kindergarten and elementary school children. The crafts use materials found around the house, like egg cartons, cardboard, paper, boxes, string, crayons, paint, glue, etc.

Papier-Mâché Spider Craft This scary papier- mâché Halloween spider is a lot of fun to make, but messy. You can either put the spider on a table or hang it from the ceiling from fishing line to make a scary Halloween decoration.

Supplies needed: A round balloon Newspaper Flour and water A pan and a stirrer Aluminum foil Hot glue Black tempera paint Paint brush Googly eyes (optional)

Papier-Mâché Glue: Make a simple, thin glue from flour and water. Mix 1/2 cup of flour into 1/2 cup of water until the mixture is thin and runny. Stir into 2 cups of boiling water (the heating gives the glue a nice consistency, but is not necessary). Simmer for about 3 minutes, then cool.

Tear a lot of newspaper into strips. Strips should be about 1 inch wide; the length doesn't really matter. Blow up and tie a round balloon for each student.

Work on scraps of newspaper. Dip a strip of paper in the flour glue, wipe off the excess, and wrap the strip around the balloon. Cover the entire top of the balloon. Have at least two or three layers surrounding the balloon. Let it dry (at least overnight) after each layer. Let the balloon dry completely (it may take a few days). Pop the balloon and separates it from the outer papier-mâché skin. Throw the torn balloon away.

Make 8 legs from aluminum foil. For each leg, start with a sheet of foil about a foot long. Crumble or roll it into a leg-like shape. Hot glue the legs onto the spider. Let the glue set.

Paint the spider black (don't paint the legs). Let the paint dry. Paint two white or red eyes on the spider (or glue on googly eyes). You can either put the spider on a table or hang it from the ceiling from fishing line to make a scary Halloween decoration.

Activity 28 Pompom Spider Craft: This cute spider is made from a yarn pompom and pipe cleaners. Supplies needed: A lot of yarn Scissors 4 pipe cleaners Scrap cardboard Googly eyes glue

Cut a piece of yarn about 2 feet long; put it aside for later. Cut a piece of scrap cardboard about 3 inches long and 2 inches wide.

Carefully remove the yarn loops from the cardboard (make sure the loops retain their shape). Place the 4 pipe cleaners on top of the loops. Tightly tie the 2-foot-long piece of yarn around the middle of the loops plus pipecleaners.

Cut the yarn loops at their edges. Trim the pompom so that it makes a nice circle. Bend the spider's legs and glue on googly eyes. Now you have a great, spooky spider.

Activity 29 EGG CARTON SPIDERS: This is an easy way to make spiders. Supplied needed: Egg cartons, crayons or markers, scissors, pipe cleaners. Googly eyes (are a nice touch).

Separate one cup from an egg carton. Using the point of a scissors, an adult should make 8 small holes (4 on each side) at the base of the cup. Insert a pipe cleaner into each of the holes for legs. Draw a face and decorate the body.

Birds
