Icicles

Today, we welcomed November. And where we are from, there is usually snow! So, we took down our apple tree at the front entry and added some icicles to the tree! They are really easy to make, for any age group and you can use them anywhere! 

First I collected everything we would need, white painting paper, brushes, and 3 different colours of blue paint. Then some clear glue (as long as it dries clear you are good), and sparkles. 

 Then the kids went to work, they started by painting their page with all the different blues. They covered the whole thing (if you use white paper it is fine if they leave some of the white showing). 


 Then we put glue all over the paper. We like to hold the glue bottle up higher and just move our arm around the whole page, so there is no order to it! 
 Then, add the sparkles! 
 After the whole thing dries, we cut them in icicle type triangles. You can make them different lengths, thickness etc. This is a GREAT cutting activity for preschoolers! Then you can hang up your sparkling icicles!
