Cityscape
 

 

Supplies:
Newspaper (classified ads)
White poster board or cardboard
Gluestick or tape
Black marker
 

On Friday:  As you walk or drive around town, point out different architectural styles to your child. "Are the windows on the bank building curved or arched? What shapes do you see? Do you think this building is new or old? How can you tell?" Bring him to an awareness of building design. Then ...


Directions: Tape or glue the classified section of your newspaper to a piece of white poster board or cardboard. Using a black marker, draw a horizontal line Ύ of the way down the page. 

 

Beginning at the horizon line and drawing up, your child can follow the newspaper’s vertical lines (columns) to draw buildings, stores, places of worship, etc. The area below the line is the street. Here he can draw cars, trucks, and bicycles. 

 

If more than one child is participating, arrange finished cityscapes, side by side, along one wall to form several city blocks. (Project is messy because of the newsprint – but wonderful!)
 

  
 
Reference photo at the top of the page: One day in the spring, this baby bird sat just outside our office window. Both his parents spent the afternoon trying to teach this reluctant bird to fly. They took turns flying low, circling, chirping, and demonstrating technique. All the while, our little feathered friend held on tightly to the branch. As the sun began to set, he finally spread his wings, and the three headed skyward. Early childhood education: fly low, circle close, hover, encourage, instruct, be patient, work to maintain close family ties.
