Wet Art
Source Institutions
In this activity (located on page 10 of the PDF), learners explore the properties of spraying and dripping water, while making art.

Fun with Shapes
Source Institutions
In this activity, early learners combine pre-cut recognizable shapes and their own abstract ideas to make representational pictures (e.g. houses, trees, shoes).

Ladybug Spots
Source Institutions
In this art/science/math activity, young learners are introduced to the concept of symmetry in nature.

Boredom Buster
Source Institutions
In this Cyberchase activity, use grid coordinates to share secret pictures with a friend. Color squares of a grid to make a picture (like a smiley face) that you keep hidden from the other person.

Patches the Cat: A Print-and-Build Paper Sculpture Kit
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners get hands-on with geometry by making a polyhedron kitty sculpture.

Thinking in Three Dimensions
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create three-dimensional shapes by making some origami models of simple boxes and containers.

Butterfly Symmetry Painting
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 3 of the PDF) has learners create models of butterfly wings.

Making Tangram Pieces by Folding Paper
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners follow step-by-step directions for making tangram pieces out of folded and torn paper. First, learners read "Grandfather Tang's Story" by Ann Tompert.

Tessellations
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will engineer a new shape and use it to create a new pattern with no wasted space.

Subtractive Paint Prints
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners of all ages will experiment with paint and printmaking.

Opti-Top
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will create an optical illusion top. Learners will explore color mixing, physics and design through this activity.

Bubble Sculpting
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners develop spatial reasoning skills as they blow bubbles and observe what happens when the bubbles connect.

Burst a Bubble
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will create their own bubble solution. Learners will explore chemistry, geometry and trial and error through this activity.

Create Your Own Decoupage
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will experiment with textures, shapes, and materials and create their own unique masterpieces.

Experimenting with Symmetry
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use pattern blocks and mirrors to explore symmetry. Learners work in pairs and build mirror images of each other's designs.

Symmetry of Butterfly Wings
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate balance and symmetry by designing a symmetrical butterfly, using a paper cutout.

Symmetry Fold-Overs
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners experiment with the concept of symmetry.
Toothpick Patterns
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners make toothpick designs by following simple patterns.

Party Hat Symmetry
Source Institutions
In this hands-on activity, learners make New Year's Eve party hats out of wrapping paper. Learners use symmetry and measurement to cut out shapes they need to assemble the hats.

Make Ziff's Carpenter's Square
Source Institutions
In this Cyberchase activity, learners make carpenter's squares and use them to measure square corners. Learners cut out the carpenter's square template and attach it to tagboard.
