Homeschool Meetup: Heart Art Three Ways

A Thursday morning library program for homeschool families. 

Goals:

·                     Opportunity to explore STEAM concepts in a relaxed setting.

·                     Participants can socialize and connect with other homeschool families.

·                     Students build confidence and cooperative skills by completing tasks together.  

 

Name tag table: 

Invite participants to create a name tag using the die cut shapes, tape, and pens.  

  

Getting to know you board:

Invite participants to answer the question on the whiteboard so that we can get to know each other.  

QUESTION: If you could trade places with any animal, which one would it be? 

 

 

Activity of the day: Let’s get artsy! 

1)      Three stations to create heart art using three different methods.

2)      Be creative.

 

Supplies:

·                     Signs with station directions

·                     Tablecloth

·                     Craft foam hearts

·                     Receipt roll centers

·                     Variety of colored paint

·                     White glue

·                     Paper plates

·                     Rollers to smooth paint (didn’t actually use these much)

·                     Half sheets of white paper

·                     Heart die cuts

·                     Crayons

·                     Pencils with erasers

·                     White paper

·                     Variety of colored paper

·                     Pencils

·                     Scissors

·                     Stickers

Station #1 – Heart stamping

Glue a craft foam heart to one end of a receipt roll center to create a stamp.  Use the paint as the ink. 

 

 

 


Station #2 – Eraser rubbing image transfer

Color a line of crayon around the edge of a die cut heart.  Place this heart on a sheet of white paper.  Hold the heart in place, use the eraser on a pencil to rub the crayon wax onto the white paper. 

 

 


Station #3 – Cut a heart

Fold a piece of color paper in half.  Draw half a heart on it.  Cut it out and open it to reveal a perfectly symetrical heart shape.  Decorate the heart with the supplies on hand.  A great time to practice scissor cutting skills!
