Pre-K Pumpkin Patch and Nighttime Pictures

Pre-K artists made collage pumpkin faces using cut paper and nighttime pictures with gel markers and construction paper crayons.  They loved watching the gel marker ink "magically" appear as it dried. 

My example.  Pre-K'ers love to sign "Five Little Pumpkins." 

Pre-K "Shrinky-Dink" butterflies

The Pre-K class is studying bugs and butterflies.  We made butterflies using shrink film and Crayola Gel markers. I baked them in the oven at 325 for 3 minutes.  They got a little bendy- it looks like the butterflies are flying.  Next time I might sandwich the pieces between two sheets if parchment paper.  The preschoolers loved using these new materials and they will be so excited to see their finished, shrunken butterflies!
