Classroom Window Decoration

You will need: contact paper and tissue paper.

Cut the contact paper into squares, peel it apart, and give one to each child.

For Halloween they will just use different shades of orange and stick them on the contact paper and form a round, circular pumpkin shape. The pieces of tissue paper can overlap. They could put a green piece near the top to represent the stem. Once, they have completed their pumpkin, you simply put a second piece of contact paper over what they have just done. Then the children can cut with scissors around their design to make the pumpkin. The teacher can then hang them on the windows, and when the light shines through, they look very pretty.

This activity can also be done for a variety of other things such as, apples, fish, Christmas trees, etc. This is an easy way to decorate and is not costly.
