coffee grounds!
Make Brown Bear Masks(Submitted by Linda (lindafh)
Cut eye holes in a large paper plate. Let the kids paint with brown
tempera paint and allow to dry. From brown construction paper cut
out ear shapes and a nose. Staple or glue ears in place. Glue
nose in place. Help them draw the mouth on with black felt marker.
Attach a string or thin elastic to hold the mask in place.
Bubble Fun (Submitted by Kim (luv2selldots)
Take a cookie sheet, fill with bubble solution, add brown tempera paint
(powder works best) then take a straw and blow LOTS & LOTS of
bubbles!! Take white paper and put on top of bubbles and gently pop them
with the paper. You will get a wonderful mosaic print on the paper!
You can also do orange and yellow then cut into leaf shapes for a fall
theme.
