Easy Desert Themed Kids Craft - Coyote at Sunset

We had a howling good time at our Picasso's in the Park this month. To keep with our momstown theme (The Desert) we decided to introduce the kids to a common desert animal - the Coyote!  Kids of all ages could participate in this simple yet engaging craft. Warning - be prepared to get messy!

Materials Required:

 

Red and Yellow Paint

Paint Brushes

Construction Paper cut outs - Coyote and the moon

Glue

What to Do:

 

1. Put globs of red and yellow paint sparingly onto a "heavy" paper.

Learning Aspect - Talk to your child about mixing colours and what colour will appear when red and yellow paints are mixed together.

Green Tip - save cereal boxes - open and cut along the seam. Turn over for a great inexpensive paint canvas!

Sensory - let kids use their hands to mix the paint instead of a brush.

2. Let paint dry and then glue on coyote and moon cut outs.

Complete the lesson with this:
