Art, art, and...you guessed it...more art.

1. In the center of a 9" x 12" sheet of paper, have the kids draw a 6" circle, using a cardboard template. Below that the neck and shoulders can be drawn, but only using straight lines and angles.
2. The face may be drawn in pencil, but again, only using very simple lines. Trace all with a dark crayon, pressing firmly.
3. Cut up various sheets of tissue paper, in about 3" squares. With a cup of water and a paint brush, the students are to dampen the white paper and place up pieces of tissue on top, like a grid-like format. Once the paper is covered, the tissue may be picked up and thrown away. The tissue paper will have bled to the paper in irregular shapes.

Man, I can't wait until my nephew gets older. : )

Also, I found an Easter project, because Easter will be here before we know it!

Potato Print Chicks:

Use regular old potatoes to stamp yellow chick shapes. After they've dried, add in details with a fine-tipped Sharpie. Challenge the kids to make each chick different by adding different details and expressions for each one.
