I prefolded black paper and had them use construction paper crayons to draw the lines dividing each section.
In the middle of their paper, I had them write the first letter of their name (I had cards written up for those who are still learning the letters in their names) and draw a circle around it.
Then they made a different line in each different section on their paper- using as many different colors as they wanted.
I made colored "sand" for them. I did this by using white cornmeal, rubbing alcohol and food coloring, all shaken together and let dry. The colors that I got out of this were so bright!
For this next step, we moved outside- I didn't want my room
The students traced their lines with glue and then sprinkled the colored "sand" onto the glue. The PreK teacher, assistant and myself helped them pour the excess back into the containers and then they moved on to the next line.
This actually took us 3 class times (I only see them for about 25-30 minutes), but they look so bright in the hallway, it was worth it!
