Arts & Crafts
Hands
Ask the children to carefully trace one of their hands and cut out the tracing.
Have them write their names on the cutouts and keep them to attach to and identify artwork throughout the year.
Hairy Harry
You will need:
Styrofoam cup or paper cup
scissors
construction paper
markers
glue
buttons (or cut them out of paper for young children)
potting soil
rye grass seed
Have the children cut eyes, ears, mouths, nose, etc...out of construction paper and glue in place on their cup. Let them also use markers to color on the cup. Let them use buttons to embellish or anything else you may have lying around.
Have the children fill their cups about 2/3 full of potting soil. Then plant the rye grass seeds in the soil. Place the cups in a sunny place and water regularly. Hairy Harry will begin to grow "hair" in about seven days.
Homemade Paint
Materials Needed:
small container with a lid
teaspoons
vinegar
cornstarch
food coloring
Mixture:
1/2 teaspoons vinegar
1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
10 drops food coloring
1. Put vinegar, corn starch and food coloring in the container.
2. Shake. If too thick, add vinegar. If too thin, add cornstarch.
Procedure:
Use as you would tempera paint.
Hand Art
Have students trace and cut out their hands, and do hand art.
Hands make great reindeer antlers, angel wings, chicks, bunnies, turkeys, and butterflies.
Hats
Make hats from construction paper (or even headbands) and have the children decorate them with stickers or cutouts of things beginning with the letter H.
Hug
Children trace and cut out each hand, and attach each hand to opposite ends of a long piece of string.
They can send this "hug" to a relative that perhaps does not live nearby, or just give it to a parent.
Miniature Hats
Prepare hats for the class to decorate by melting Styrofoam cups in a 350 degree oven. Place the cups on a cookie sheet and set them in the oven for 30-60 seconds.
(this goes very quick once it starts.) Have the children decorate them by drawing on them with markers and by tying yard or ribbon around them.
Hang them from a tree branch for a display during H week.
Indian Headbands
Fold a strip of cloth and measure it on your head. Mark the length that is most comfortable for you. Attach velcro dots to the ends with a glue gun (An Adult should do this) Bands can be painted to created Indian symbols. Use a slender brush, and acrylic or poster paint.
Horses
Make horses out of cardboard boxes. Cut the bottom out of a box. Cut handles on each side. Cut a head from more cardboard (side view) and glue on front.
Paint them with house paint before hand or have kids glue on big sheets of construction paper. Decorate with ribbons or stickers and yarn for mane, construction paper ears, buy big eyes from a craft store or make them from black and white paper or felt.
Then have kids hold horse at the side and walk/run around while music plays or jump over simple jumps (the library might have some tapes - or use William Tell's overture).
Horseshoes
Make horseshoes out of plastic or cardboard and toss them.
Stick Horses
Stick horses are fun to make. Draw a horse head outline, add features and staple 2 sides together.
Stuff with newspaper and add either a empty gift wrapping roll or a paper towel one will also work Then you can do all kinds of races.
Games & Activities
Hopping on a trail
Press down contact-paper foot shapes along a play area.
Let the children hop along the trail making the sound of H as they go.
Horseshoes
Have the children play a game of horseshoes with plastic horseshoes.
Height
Measure each child's height.
Holes
Have each child use a Hole puncher. For more fun, you can buy small punches in the scrap-booking section of any craft store or Wal-Mart.
They come in various sizes and shapes.
Play hula hoops
House of H's
Make an outline of a house out of cardboard. Cut it out, and have the children each bring in a picture of something that begins with the letter H.
Paste the pictures onto the house. You now have a house full of H's. You can even tack it up onto a bulletin board.
Heart wreath
Cut out a 9-inch circle from cardboard, cut out a 3 inch wide circle from the center. Cut out the same ring out of construction paper and glue them together.
Cut out 2 to3- inch hearts from patterned wall paper or wrapping paper. Glue each heart around the wreath.
You can also crumple up tissue paper of different colors and glue one to the top of each heart on the wreath.
Heart puzzle
Cut out an outline of a 10 inch heart out of white construction paper for each child. Have each child color and write a message or words on the heart.
Cover the heart with contact paper. Then cut the heart into three to five sections.
Give the sections back to the child and have them put their very own puzzle heart back together.
Make a happy book
Play Hop scotch or Heads Up/Seven Up
H Letter Bag
Make a letter bag with items beginning with the letter H. First show the children each of the items in the bag, explaining what each is, and clearly pronouncing its name.
Then the child can reach in and pick an item and try to name it without pulling it out and looking at it. If that is too difficult, they can pull it out and then tell you the name of the item.
Ideas for items to include in Letter H bag: house, horse, hairbrush, hairpin, hand, hamburger (toy), handle, hand lotion, hanger, handkerchief, hazelnut, heart, hen, hexagon.
