Paper Fortune Tellers

As I looked around on the internet for some easy paper crafts, I came across paper fortune tellers.  Pictured above is the finished product.  I remember doing these as a child and had forgotten all about them.  A fun and easy craft to do with your child.  You may even be able to use this project to help with sight words.  Check out this website to make your own paper fortune teller.

lines

This is a fun activity to teach students about different lines.  Have them color a piece of paper using the colors of the rainbow (or paint or use markers) and then have them cut the paper using wavy lines, straight lines, zig zag lines, etc.
 

making crayons

I have been accumulating broken crayons, knowing that someday I will melt them all together and make my own.  I used my mini muffin pan and filled the broken crayons up to near the top.  Then I baked them in the oven at about 200 degrees for about 10 minutes or so.  I would keep the oven light on so you can watch it.

Just a little hint, I can tell the different between Crayola crayons and the cheap crayons.  It seemed like the cheap crayons added a layer of oil.
