Spirals

Paper plates are such a wonderful art supply!  This time we began with a spiral on each plate.

We each colored the plate completely.  I loved the bright colors.

Oil pastels are my favorite.  The only thing that bugs me is that the pastels get all over the kids' fingers and we have to wash hands afterward.

Most of the kids colored both sides of the plate.  That is the best way to create our project: 

paper plate spirals.

Once the coloring is complete, we cut along the spiral that was drawn on the plate before we began.

Tape to the ceiling and you have a paper plate spiral!

If the kids are getting bored on a long afternoon, bring out something from the inside.  For some reason this just grabs their attention to see something they associate with indoor play time brought OUTSIDE.  They spent a good half hour reading books.  That's right-- one of my preschoolers can READ!  I can't take any credit for that, though.
