Let the children paint watered-down glue over the entire clown. Then cover with pieces of torn tissue paper. Catherine sent me this great C idea. I have my students draw a capital C on construction paper. Then we trace the letter with glue.
Student can then trace the letter with their fingers.
We also talk about why we used cotton to make our C's and not grass or paint, etc. The children painted pictures with cotton swabs. I gave them yellow and blue. At the end, they got to mix the two colors to see what the new color was. The children cut 5 things from a magazine of the things that they liked.
