K and K4: Texture! Pumpkins and Indian Corn

Our little guys had a great time texturizing paper.  We talked about this term and what it means.
For our Indian Corn, the students learned how to dab autumn paint colors into a corn shape.  They then glued on scrunched-up brown paper for the husks.

For the pumpkins:  Day one involved stamping a pumpkin-shaped piece of paper with fall colors using bubble wrap.  This turned out to be messy (of course) but interesting for the students.  I had to be sure they stamped and didn't smear the wrap around.  Day two involved gluing the pumpkin down to another 9x12" piece of paper and then using a glue bottle to decorate the pumpkin using glitter.  They looked at our model pumpkin to see how there are "c" shaped lines on these gourds.  These made pretty bulletin board displays.
