Happy Friday, friends! It's Laura from Peace, Love, and First Grade! We've been busy getting our room ready for spooky season! We've made bats, and spiders, and some fun Halloween lanterns! We chose jacks, ghosts, and Frankensteins for our lanterns. Here's a peek at our lantern making!
You will need:
*construction paper- 9" x 12" orange, green, or white black strips long enough to cut handles *black markers or crayons (if you want faces) *rulers *pencils *scissors *glue *tape or staples
Here are the steps:
Step 1: Place a piece of 9" x 12" construction paper on the table lengthwise. Draw a face in the middle of the page. We made jack-o-lanterns, ghosts, and Frankensteins. If you don't want faces, skip this step.
Step 2: Fold the paper in half lengthwise.
Step 3: Use a ruler and draw a straight line about 1/2" inch from the top of the unfolded edge. Pic below.
Step 4: Cut straight lines from the folded edge to the pencil line on the unfolded edge.
Step 5: Open the paper. It should look like the pic below. I had kids write their names on it then.
Step 6: Roll the paper into a tube. Pic below. Tape or staple the ends. You could glue but taping allows you to keep working.
Soooooooooooooooooooo cute
