Watercolor-style Shirokuma (polar bear) panties
Even polar bears that aren’t good with the heat might still want to enjoy summer a little, right? To help a polar bear get into the summer spirit, let’s make some cute shorts! Cut construction paper into the shape of shorts, lightly mist it with a spray bottle, and drop several colors of paint thinned with plenty of water to create a bleeding effect.
Once the colors have dried, combine it with construction paper cut into a polar bear shape and add parts like the eyes and mouth to finish! You could also have the children draw the eyes and mouth later with crayons.
silky beach

Summer-themed art projects and activities not only let children enjoy the season, they also nurture their imagination! Let’s try expressing a beach atmosphere through art to boost those summer vibes.
Kids can color freely on construction paper shaped like a beach umbrella, or tear tissue paper to resemble beach sand and glue it onto paper.
With their free ideas, what kind of beach will they create? Both children and teachers will be excited to find out.
It would also be lovely to display the children’s drawings or photos under the umbrella!
[Finger Stamp] Fireworks

Here’s a simple firework craft idea: just dab paint with your fingers onto a round piece of black construction paper.
It’s best to use highly pigmented paint at full strength, but if the paint is too thick, mix in a little water.
Since you’ll be putting paint on fingertips, have a wet towel ready for wiping hands.
There’s no set rule for how to apply the paint—radiating from the center or all over the surface are both fine.
Let the kids follow their own instincts; you’ll enjoy seeing all kinds of firework shapes.
Once finished, mount the piece on construction paper and use it as a wall decoration.
In conclusion
How did you like the August wall display ideas? There were plenty—from handprint and footprint projects that let you feel the children’s growth to activities like wet-on-wet painting and scratch art that help them learn drawing techniques.
Some ideas require adult assistance, so please support them well while cherishing the children’s imagination.
