It Was Sharkie's Time!

So, this week's art time we decided to give a try for a craft from Easy, Peasy and Fun. I like this website. As the title says it has lots of easy activities for kids. We decided to make a shark cootie catcher. It is an origami art. Super easy!

Good thing they have a downloadable template for this activity but we modified the steps so my little one will have some fun with paints. So, rather than using the provided template, we used a paper, drew the lines as per instructions and we colored it with paints.

Of course with paints, we expected some mess. Waited for some time for the paint to dry. And the little one wanted to do a scary, ferocious shark, so why not just let her do what she wished for. It seems it is a female shark so she added a bow too on top of the two big, round eyes.

And..here is the result, after folding the paper...I think it turned out to be a really scary one!

With the jagged uneven teeth, this shark might scare off other fishes too. We also tried another craft, an accordion paper snake. Easy to make. Kids can do it on their own too.

2 accordion snakes which my little said, the long one is mama snake and the short one is baby snake. And she asked where is papa snake. I said that one ran away (ooppss!).
