Activity Summary:

Muddy Foot Prints

1. Have children step on a plate (or ice cream pail lid) of brown playdough in their bare feet.

2. Help them scratch their name in the playdough with a straw. Let dry.

   (Hint: If you spray with hairspray while the playdough is wet it dries shiny instead of cracked)

Mud Print Painting:

1. Line up two chairs facing each other but several steps apart.

2. Place a pan of soapy water and a towel by one chair. Place a pan of brown paint by the other chair. Roll out paper between the chairs.

3. Have kids sit down, get paint on bare feet and walk across the paper. Then sit on other chair, rinse feet in soapy water

4. That's it! THIS MAKES A GREAT BULLETIN BOARD DISPLAY BACKGROUND!!!!!

Lesson Notes:

Talk about plants "waking" up and beginning to grow etc.

To add a science element let the kids make mud by either letting them mix the brown powdered paint for their mud feet paintings or actually putting dirt in a pail and having them add water and stir!

This lesson plan is flexible to accommodate many objectives! Be creative, get messy & Have fun!!
