2. Add 2 short pieces of tape to the end of each point on the asterisk.

3. After the tape is attached, paint the whole piece of paper with water.  The paper should be pretty wet.

4. Use eyedroppers to suction up different colors of watered-down paint and drop them onto the paper until the colors blend together.

6. Let everything dry.

7. Remove the tape.

  • scissors
  • green glitter
  • green sequins
  • glue
  • green yarn
  • markers

  1. Start out with a piece of large green construction paper.

2. Use a green marker to draw a spiral outward, starting in the center of the construction paper.

3. Cut around the spiral shape and cut off the edges of the paper with scissors. Make a crevice where the kids will begin cutting into the spiral.

4. Pour a tiny bit of glue over the paper and sprinkle it with some glitter for an extra magical effect! Leave overnight to dry.

5. Cut out leaves, beans, and sprigs. Make curly sprigs by cutting thin strips of green construction paper. Wrap them around a pencil, slightly unrolling afterward.

6. Create leaves by cutting football shapes out of the green construction paper. Curl these around a pencil slightly. Beans are just slightly elongated football shapes.

7. Students can cut out their own leaves, but it may be helpful to place some precut leaves out on the tables for inspiration.

8. Kids begin by cutting along the spiral until they have a long curvey beanstalk.

10. Hole punch the end of each beanstalk and tie a small loop of yarn to the end of each one.  String a longer piece of yarn through the yarn loops on the individual beanstalks and attach the whole thing to the ceiling tiles by this string.

11. Now all you need are some kindergarten-made character puppets and kids can use their imaginations to re-enact the story of Jack And The Beanstalk!
