Materials:

  • Craft Foam, Scrap Wood, Glue, Scissors, Pencil, Ink

 


Suggest Resources for a Unit Study:

ButterflyScience   butterflygarden    butterfly2 stamppad


Art Project Tutorial:

Step 1

Start by designing your stamp on the craft foam. Use your pencil and press hard

Step 2

Make sure that your pressing into the foam so that it stays indented.

Step 3

Once drawn, cut out all of your life cycle shapes

Step 4

Glue your shapes onto the backs of a piece of scrap wood. You can also use a wooden cube, an empty milk carton, yogurt cup or anything that has a flat surface and can take a bit of pressure.

Step 5

Allow your stamps to dry before using. Ink your stamp well by applying pressure

Step 6

Stamp your image onto paper too see how it turned out!

Step 7

Align your stamps in a circle for your life cycle and draw arrows showing which step is next!

All Done!

Now you've got a great set of Life Cycle Stampers! Hint: Use a diaper wipe to wash off the stamp in between colors.

DIY Stained Glass Coloring Pages

March 26, 2013 By Valerie Mcclintick Leave a Comment

So last week, while browsing around Pinterest,
I found this cheepo way to make DIY stained glass coloring pages.

And the timing couldn’t have been better.
(As my children had just tore out the very last page in their stained glass coloring book)

So I thought I’d give it a try to see if we got a comparable result:

Not bad right?

The sun kept popping in and out from behind the clouds, so this shot is a tad more “cloudy”
but you can see the DIY on the left and the purchased on the right.
So the DIV version is not EXACTLY the same as a prepaid sheet,
but it is way cheaper then buying a set of pages or even a stack of vellum to print on.

Plus you can really turn ANY coloring page into a stained glass project.
And what kiddo does’t love to see their own creations on display?

Just in case you wanted to try out this method for yourself,
I whipped up some beautiful Easter pages that would look great as stained glass.

Head on over to our main site for the printable pages and the full tutorial!

Blessings,

Valerie
