Australia Crafts: Boomerang

BoomerangMy children were thrilled to learn that there was a way to make an actual boomerang that when thrown, would return to it’s owner! We had a  blast designing these with Aboriginal symbols too

Materials:

  • Paper
  • Boomerang Tutorial
  • Aboriginal Symbols

 


Suggest Resources for a Unit Study:

aus5    aus6  australia  australiapeople


Art Project Tutorial:

Step 1

Watch this video for instructions to make your boomerangs. I made them ahead of time because of the intricate folding.

View Resource

Step 2

Check out some Aboriginal Symbols. Encourage older children to come up with their own symbols and meanings as well.

Step 3

Fill up your boomerang with lots of symbols and bright colors

All Done

Time to test them out, be sure to show children how throw them correctly so that they return!

Australia Crafts: Cave Drawings

CaveDrawingPinThis is a fantastic project to follow up learning about all the amazing and beautiful cave drawings found in Australia.  I love crafts that showcase children’s original work and this is a great way to add a little flair to your classroom walls!

Materials:

  • Butcher Paper
  • Pastels or Chalk
  • Examples of Cave Drawings

 


Suggest Resources for a Unit Study:

aus5    aus6  australia  australiapeople


Art Project Tutorial:

Step 1

First of course you'll want to show your children examples of Aboriginal art work.

Step 2

Unroll a large sheet of butcher paper and tape it to your table. (Or better yet, outside to the sidewalk!)

Step 3

Provide children with colored chalk or pastels. We used the charcoal and crayons above but it was SUPER powdery and messy so be warned :)

Step 4

Illustrate some figures and shapes for children to copy. Encourage them to try to find symbols and other ways to represent people, animals or objects.

Step 5

Let children experiment with the qualities of the chalk, and make drawings representing what they've seen.

Step 6

Show children ways to outline and add dimension to their drawings

Step 7

When your cave drawing is complete, hang it up in your classroom for the duration of your unit study. (Hair Spray keeps the chalk from dusting)

Lynn and I just wrapped up another Free Preschool Bible lesson
on our sister site PreschoolPost.com

In case you’re wondering how our partnership works;
Lynn is the actual writer of the lessons,
and I am the web-designer/printable maker (what else right?)

It’s really a great arrangement for both of us!


(That’s Lynn….she’s great!)

Actually, one of my other responsibilities is to “shoot” the crafts….
meaning for each month Lynn sends a lesson,
I actually “do” the craft with the kiddos and take photos along the way.

How fun is that?

Well as I was saying, we just wrapped up lesson,
so that means we got to try out a new craft!

So here’s how it all went down:

Don’t you just want to make your own now?

I’ve been meaning to post these for a while now,
We finished up our Unit on Australia before the start of Summer,
and I’m just now getting around to sharing them.

Learning about Australia was great fun!

We used HOAC Continent Study on Australia

As well as Discovering God’s Animals (from COAH)

And of course we did lots of crafts too:

We made Cave Drawings:
australia crafts for kids

We made boomerangs (That work!)

We made music with a “Didgeridoo”:

We even painted our faces:

We had a GREAT time learning about the Land Down Under!
I added these all to our Australia Themed Crafts on the main site!

Feel free to Bookmark, Pin, Staple….or whatever if you see something useful :)
