Super Cute Earth Day Art!

With Earth Day coming up, I'm sure a lot of us are talking about the 3 R's with our classes! My student teacher led an adorable art activity that is getting a lot of oohs and ahhhs when people walk past in the hallway!

Here's what you need:
  • coffee filters

  • green and blue markers
  • spray bottle with water
 Students color their entire coffee filter to look like the earth...plenty of green for the land and blue for the water. 

When they finish, they take the spray bottle and spray their coffee filter. We put the filters on chinet dinner size plates which worked out great. Soak the entire filter and you will start to see the colors bleed together. 


Let them dry overnight and mount on black construction paper for a beautiful work of art that is out of this world!




Each one is different and I just loved this little saying to go with the display. 


Later this week, I will be posting some pictures and information on how my class is planning and putting our Earth Day music video together.
