How do I make a giant Igloo for my preschool class?
I am a preschool teacher and we are doing themes for our summer camp and one of them is an artic theme. I want to make a giant igloo in the corner of the room that the kids can walk in and out of. Any suggestions on how I can do that? I would like to some how make it out of butcher paper. Any ideas would be great. Or any ideas I can add to help decorate the room for our artic theme would be awesome. Thanks.
If you don’t have or don’t want to collect that many milk jugs, how about a dome shaped tent? You can find them at fairly low prices and, if you don’t plan to use it for real camping outdoors, you can get a cheap one. Draw block shapes on the butcher paper and then use it to cover the tent.
Please be sure children learn that people in the Arctic do NOT live in igloos. Read up on it and give them authentic information about life in the Arctic.
I didn’t read the other answers all that closely, but here are some ideas:
Put up pictures of Arctic animals. Use them later to go on an Arctic animal “safari”.
Freeze water in various shaped containers. You can put in food colouring to give them colour. Float them in your water table for “icebergs”.
Have kids make “Ivory Snow” pictures and put them up around the room.
Teach kids to cut out snowflakes. Hand those up around the room.
I love having kids make decorations for the room rather than teachers doing it.
