For this activity we created a scratch art mitten. We were given instruction to first color a piece of paper with at least 2 different colors. After we colored out sheet we taped it to cardboard and painted it with black paint. The paint was tempera paint with soap in it. After we painted it we needed to wait for it to dry. While we waited for the paint to dry we listened to a book called Mittens and it was about animals and a missing mitten. After we read the story we created a mitten design on scratch paper. After we created our design we traced it on our scratch art paper and transferred our design. This was a lesson plan designed for 2nd graders. It was lots of fun!
An extension for this activity would be to have the students create a story to go along with their mitten. They can either write or draw a story to go along with it. If I had them create a story I would have this activity for third or fourth grade. It was a really fun lesson.
