The Little Engine that Could inspired this fun project!
My Kindergarten students have been spending the last few weeks working on Trains! We read The Little Engine that Could which the kids really enjoyed and it sent such a great message- You can do anything you put your mind to! So we set our minds to making great Train Scenes.
The first concept we talked about was Line! I asked the students what Kind of Lines Mountains were ... We eventually worked our way to Zig Zag Lines. We used our fingers to make zig zag lines in the air. THe students seemed to really enjoy this . NOw for the Hard part- Making the lines on the paper! After a little adjusting, we got our mountain Lines in! To try something new, We used Coffee grounds to "paint" our mountains. Boy What a strong aroma that made! The Background was decoupage Tissue Paper, and the Track was made with textured paint rollers.
