Hands on Crafts for Kids

Shapes

We're exploring shapes today. Shape is what gives an object its form - they can be geometric like squares or triangles - or a shape can be anamorphic or free form. We begin with a Japanese printing technique called gyotaka to make fish shaped prints. Then, we're making a homemade hula hoop. The next page of our art journal is using the shape of your fingerprint to create faces to express your mood. Finally, mix and match shapes to create monster cubes.
