We've been talking about lines a lot lately, so I was looking for something for the kids to do with a colorful line background when I happened on an idea from another blogger - to have kids write their name in cursive and turn it into a bug.We took that idea and went a couple steps further. First each writes his or her name in cursive on a folded piece of colored construction paper. Then they double up the lines to make the letters "bubble style".
Once the name is carefully cut out, taking care to preserve enough of the fold, the name is glued down, unfolded, onto the line background. Finally, the last step is to add whatever necessary to turn that name into an "Alien Name Bug".
Kids made a game to try and figure out who was who once all the projects were up on the board.
Material:
- construction paper
- scissors / glue
- color pencils
