Draw a spiral on a paper plate. Cut

along the line.

Decorate the paper plate using markers, crayons,

or paint.

Using green construction paper, draw a leaf and cut itout. Either draw tiny butterfly eggs on it or glue on

tiny paper circles (either cut them out or use a hole

punch to make some). A cluster of butterfly eggs are

usually laid on the underside of a leaf; the eggs are

white or yellow or greenish, and are circular to oval.

Draw and cut out a caterpillar (the egg hatches into

a caterpillar, which spends its entire time eatingleaves). Decorate it.

Draw and cut out a pupa (the stage during which the

caterpillar makes a protective case around itself and

turns into a butterfly). Decorate it.

To make butterfly wings, fold a small piece of paper

in half, and draw half a butterfly along the fold line.

Using dark paper, make a

body for your butterfly (it's

basically a long oval with a

circular head).

Glue the body to the wings

Staple or tape the stages in the butterfly's life cycle

to string and then to the paper plate.

Attach another short length of string to the plate; it

will be used to hang the mobile up.

You now have a great buttefly life cycle mobile.

Papier-Mch Globe

Make your own globe of the Earth from a balloon

covered with newspaper, flour-water glue, and paint.

Although this is a messy project that takes days to

complete, the results are very nice and teach a

tremendous amount about geography.

Supplies needed: A round balloon Lots of newspaper Flour and water glue (instructions below) A container for mixing the glue (old plastic containers work

well)

A spoon or stick to stir the glue A printer Pencil Blue and green tempera paint Paint brushes A dark marker

Make a simple, thin glue from flour and water. Mix 1

cup of flour into 1 cup of water until the mixture is

thin and runny. Stir into 4 cups of boiling water (the

heating gives the glue a nice consistency, but is not


13/17

necessary). Simmer for about 3 minutes, then cool.

Tear a lot of strips of newspaper. Strips should be

about 1 inch wide; the length doesn't really matter.

Blow up and tie a round balloon for each student.

Papier-Mch: Dip each strip of paper in the flour glue,

wipe off excess, and wrap the strip around the balloon.

Have at least three layers surrounding the balloon. Let

it dry (at least overnight) after each layer.

Let the globe dry completely (it may take a few days).

When the papier-mch is dry, the balloon usually pops

by itself, and separates from the outer papier-mch

skin.

Print out maps of the Earth (or use a commercial

globe or maps).

If using our printouts, choose color map

printouts (Western Hemisphere andEastern

Hemisphere) or black-and-white map printouts

(Western HemisphereandEastern Hemisphere).

Draw the Continents on the Globe:

Using a pencil, draw a line around themidsection of the balloon representing the

equator, and draw a dot for each of the

poles.

Draw the continent you live in. To draweach continent, show the student the shape

of that continent, how big it is in relation

to the globe, and where it is positioned

(with respect to the equator, the poles, and

the other continents). Using a pencil, draw

that continent on the globe.

Repeat this process for the othercontinents.

Work on a bed of newspapers; this is pretty

messy. Paint the seven continents green with

tempera paints.

When the continents are done and the paint hasdried, use blue paint to represent the oceans,

seas, and lakes. Let the paint dry.

Using a dark marker, have the

student label the major

features on the globe and also

where the child lives. The

student can mark and labelthe equator, the seven

continents, the oceans, the

poles, etc. (depending on the

student's grade level).

Supplies needed:

A white balloon Scissors 2 white plastic grocery bags Tape A black marker

Cut the handles off the white plastic grocery

bags. If there are colored markings on the

bags, cut them off too.

Leaving the seam at the bottom of the bags intact,

cut the bags into strips.

Blow up a white balloon.

Tape the plastic bags around the end of the

balloon (tape the bags in a circle a few inches

from one end of the balloon). If you plan on

hanging the ghost up as a decoration, tape the

plastic bags around the plain end, leaving the tied

end of the balloon exposed so you can tie a string

to the top of the ghost.

Using a black marker, draw two eyes and a mouth

on the ballon.

You now have a spooky ghost that you can use as a

Halloween decoration or as a toy (but not for very

young children). This ghost flies really well!

Scary Mouth Pop-up Card

Make a Mouth Pop-up Card. When you open the

card, the mouth opens! You can make your card

look like a bird, a shark, or a big-mouth monster.

This is a very easy project and a lot of fun.

Supplies needed: 2 pieces of paper (colored card-stock works great) paste scissors Crayons and/or markers

Fold a piece of paper in half. Cut a line about 2

inches long (5 cm) about the middle of the crease.

Fold back each of the flaps to make 2 triangles.

Open up the card. Lay it down like a v.

Push one of the triangles up and pinch theedges together above the card.

Repeat with the other triangle.

Close the card and push down on the folds tomake them well-creased.


17/17

When opened, you have a pop-up mouth.

Fold another piece of paper in half (a differentcolor looks great).

Glue this new card to the outside of your pop-upcard. Don't glue near the mouth area or it won't

open! Let the glue dry.

Draw a scary animal around the mouth and finish

decorating your card.

For variations on this card, don't cut a

straight line - cut a wavy line or a

zigzag for scary teeth. You can even

make more than one mouth for 2

monsters or a two-headed monster.This pop-up area also looks a lot like a

bird's beak or a shark's mouth.
