Yesterday we focused on collages in a class for 3-5 year olds and in Drop-in Art where children of all ages come to create.
In the class we talked about sweet treats, especially cupcakes! We visited the gallery to view the new works and read the book, If You Give a Cat a Cupcake by Laura Numeroff.
We shared our favorite paintings and talked about our favorite type of cupcakes.With all of this information in mind we headed back to the classroom to cut, tear and glue our own cupcake creations.
We went over our steps but I have reminders on the board.
Supplies are ready to go:
Tables were supplied with baskets full of scrap paper, tissue paper, sequins, hole punches, glue sticks, yarn, scissors, background paper, 3 pre-cut cupcake bottoms and 3 icing tops. I explained that the tops for the icing could be covered and decorated or used as a template to trace on scrap paper and then the scrap paper could be cut out and used.
The children were instructed to decorate all 3 cupcakes differently. I think we succeeded! So much fun!
First ground our cupcakes with a semi circle. Then glue cupcake bottoms:
Now we start to top our cupcakes and decorate our papers!
You will need:
-9x12 heavy paper for background (we used tagboard)
-Various scrapbook papers
- Brown cardstock for cupcake bottoms (I pre-cut)
-White cardstock for icing tops (I pre-cut)
-Tissue paper
-Scissors
-Hole punches
-Glue Sticks
-Yarns, sequins,other embellishments
Here are some of our finished creations! Are you hungry yet? :)
