ART ACTIVITIES TALK ON A TIN CAN PHONE. Help the students construct make believe telephones. Wash and dry two tin cans for every student.

		Sensory Ideas ^Votes:0 Contact_FullName: Heidi Contact_Email: hroggenbuck@yahoo.com date:: 1/20/02 Area: Sensory Idea: When coloring rice or noodles for the sensory table, use Liquid Watercolor from Discount School Supply. It's relatively inexpensive, goes a long way, makes BRIGHT colors and dries easily. Simply put the rice or noodles into a Ziploc bag. Add desired amount of liquid water color, squish around in bag until color is evenly distributed. Lay out to dry if necessary. This has worked much better for coloring rice and noodles for me! Also works well for coloring play-doh! Name: Carrie carriepierce59@hotmail.com 3-12-01 Fill your table with water and antibacterial soap. Add sponges, dishes from housekeeping, and lots of towels. My students had lots of fun practicing washing and drying dishes. Name: Susa Read More Go to Site
