Shapes with Beans

This week Merit is working on the number four and the letter P. I always try to come up with some sort of craft to reinforce what he is learning. So, this weekend we made shapes our of dried beans. I put several different types of beans in plastic containers and then drew shapes with glue. I drew the shapes and then filled them in with the glue. Merit sprinkled and placed the beans in the shapes. He loved mixing the different colors of beans. We used lentils, black beans, black-eyed peas and sunflower seeds too. The finished product looks really nice! He was very proud of his artwork!






We also made a polar bear out of cotton balls and used black beans for his claws, eyes and nose. Polar bear begins with the letter 'P'!
