* W is for wishes...make a wishing well and let the children toss coins (we
use poker chips for coins at our school) into the well and make a
wish....have an adult write down the children's wishes and secretly send
those home.  Parents might have a fun time fulfilling wishes of their
children.  (I would love it, I know.)
 
* W is for water...spray water on W after they have been sprinkled with
powdered tempra or chalk dust.

* W- let the kids eat a piece of watermelon; have them save the seeds on a 
 paper towel and then show them how to rinse them off.  glue on the "W"
 
* W- cut out a "W" from wallpaper samples; or, use wallpaper sample 
 1x1inch pre-cut squares to fill up the W-shape.
 
* W- use an uppercase "W" in white construction paper as the teeth of a 
 walrus!
 
* W- glue on frosted mini-wheats (cereal) onto the "W". I suggest that 
 particular wheat cereal because the kids will love to eat this as a 
 healthy snack!
 
* W- use white cutouts of the letter for this project. place as many 
 little jars of colored water (use food coloring) as you can out for the 
 children. provide cotton swabs or cotton balls and tell the children to 
 make their letter "w" all Wet (and beautiful!)
 
* W- give the kids chenille things (I still call them "pipe cleaners")
 and googly eyes, and lots of other imaginative doodads.  tell them to 
 make a pet/monster/whatever that has Whiskers using the "W" anyway they 
 want. I had a bunch of fake fur samples in different colors- ask your 
 cloth store for remnants.
 
* W- make a wheelbarrow from a laundry scoop and two black 
 buttons/circles.  add some dirt and and a gummy worm!
 
* W- use the "w" cutout from green or yellow construction paper as the 
 Worm body. let the kids go crazy with fingerpaint, doodads, etc.  you 
 could even hide the worm in green grass (fringed green art paper)!
 

* For the letter W, how about glueing on Watermelon seeds.  They should be
easy
 to get this time of year.

* "W"--those pasta "wheels", or wire, or wrappers (like from some kind of
food)


* Letter "W"
 look at wallpaper
 
 Eat a watermelon.
 
 talk about the weather
 
 Weave:  weave strips of paper together
 
 wood:  use wooden popcicle sticks to make the letter w and glue on paper
 
 worms:  dig up earth worms and examine them!

* For "w" how about watermelon slices made from paper. Use two circles one
 light green (cut it larger) and one red. Glue the red onto the green and
then
 have the children glue watermelon seeds to it!! They really look like a
 watermelon slice!


* Another idea for W  is wood.  I usually do this project a couple times a
year.
 Gather as much "odds and ends" wood as you can find.  Make colored glue by
 mixing a little tempera paint (powder paint works too) with white glue.
 Cover  your work table with plenty of newspaper.  Give each child a carboard
 base to work on.
 Let the children make WOOD SCULPTURES.  Use paint brushes with the colored
 glue.  Let the children glue wood pieces together.  The neat thing about
 this, is that the children don't have to paint the sculptures because the
 glue already has color in it and the children can see where they have put
glue.
 
* The glue will keep for a couple of days if it is covered. 
 Glue will wash out of paint brushes with hot water.
 Use many different colored glues at once.
