Kite Art
Supply the children with paper, glue and ribbon. Have the children cut and glue pieces of paper together and add ribbon to make a kite. This kite can be a very open ended art project, by not requiring the kite to be a specific shape, the children are free to make the kite however they wish. Have the children add a ribbon tail and hang the kites from the ceiling.

Kool Aid Art
Sprinkle a little dry Kool aid mix onto a piece of paper. Have your child spray water from a spray bottle onto the paper. Use different colored Kool-aid mix. For added adventure, you may choose to take your children out into the rain with a piece of paper that has Kool-aid on it.

Kitten Toy Ball Art
First you need a large plastic container with a lid. (I used a shallow peanut butter container.) Next cut out paper that will fit in the lid of the container. Place a few drops of paint into the container with a kitten toy ball, then place a very small amount of paint on the lid and pre-cut paper on the paint. (I use the paint to make the paper stick to the lid.) Place the lid on the container, flip and have the children shake. When finished, remove paper and allow to dry, and place a clean piece of paper in the lid for the next child.

Create kitten charmers by attaching ribbon or string to a pencil, dowel or popsicle stick. Have the children dance with the charmers when they are finished.


Kitten Headbands
Measure your child's head, and cut a piece of construction paper long enough to create a headband. Glue the paper together so the headband fits snugly on your child's head but is loose enough to take off easily. Cut from brown paper two ears. Then, either staple or glue the ears to the headband.

Three Little Kittens' Mittens

Cut out three pair of mittens from different colored felt. Have the child pick out one mitten, and then find it's match.

Popcorn Kernel Painting
First you need a large plastic container with a lid. (I used a shallow peanut butter container.) Next cut out paper that will fit in the lid of the container. Place a few drops of paint into the container with a few kernels of corn (be sure to observe carefully as kernels of corn are a choking hazard) then place a very small amount of paint on the lid and pre-cut paper on the paint. (I use the paint to make the paper stick to the lid.) Place the lid on the container, flip and have the children shake. When finished, remove paper and allow to dry, and place a clean piece of paper in the lid for the next child.

Draw a spiral on a paper plate that goes from the outside to the inside of the plate. Have the child cut along the line. Deocrate the snake with green paint, crayons, stickers or whatever you desire. Hang the snakes by the middle of the plate (their tail) about the room to give a jungle feel.

King Snake Tracks
This one is a lot of fun, and has great results. Set out a piece of yarn for each color of paint you intend to use. Have the child dip the yarn in one color of paint, and run it across the paper. Use a new piece of string for a different color.

Merry, merry king of the bush is he
Laugh, Kookaburra! Laugh, Kookaburra!
Gay your life must be
Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Eating all the gum drops he can see
Stop, Kookaburra! Stop, Kookaburra!
Leave some there for me
Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Counting all the monkeys he can see
Stop, Kookaburra! Stop, Kookaburra!
That's not a monkey that's me

Kernal Balancing
Supply the children with popcorn kernals and a balance. Show the children how to make the balance even. Count the kernals on each side.

Musical Chairs
Arrange the chairs in a circle. If you have younger children, it is best to have too many chairs. Tape a picture of something that begins with the letter "K" to each chair. This can be a game where everyone wins. Have the children jump like a kangaroo around the chairs until the music stops. Then everyone finds a chair. Ask "Who has the kite?" "Who sat on the kitten?" etc.
The same game can be played without chairs. Place the pictures evenly about the floor and when the music stops the children find a picture to stand on.

Ramp it!!!
Provide the children with an inclined plane. (Can be made with a propped up board.) Have each child find an item in the class that begins with the letter "K", or have some items set out for them. Ask the children if the item will roll down or slide down the ramp, or if it will not move. Then try it with each item. Have each child guess what the item that they picked out will do.
