Art Activities
medical collage
Materials Needed:
- large piece of heavy paper or poster board
- medical supplies (medicine cups, gauze, bandaids, tongue depressors, plastic gloves, cotton balls, surgical masks, etc.)
- glue
- markers or crayons (optional)
- magazine cut-outs (optional)
making a stethoscope
Materials Needed:
- Long black pipe cleaners (2 per child)
- 12" length of yarn
- cotton balls
- small cups (i.e. Dixie)
Have the children twist their 2 pipe cleaners together, beginning at a point about 1/3 the way down the length of the pipe cleaners. Bend the upper third of the pipe cleaners into a U-shape and secure a cotton ball to each end for ear pieces. Pierce a hole in the bottom of the cup and thread the yarn through. Attach the yarn to the center of the U-shape.
painting with medical gloves
Materials Needed:
- medical gloves
- liquid tempera paint
- construction paper
Children will put the medical gloves on their hands (use non-latex gloves if allergic). Children can dip their hands into the paint and make a picture on the paper. They can be very creative with hand prints, smearing, etc.
This is a great idea for the child who is sensory-sensitive, and does not usually touch paint!
x-rays
Materials Needed:
- old x-rays
- black construction paper
- chalk
Display x-rays of hand, spine, skull, legs, feet, etc. on a window in the room. Let the children examine the x-rays and determine which parts of the body each represents. Have the children draw their own x-rays using white chalk and black construction paper.
