This lesson requires black construction paper, a pencil with an eraser and oil pastels. First, have your child find their desired light house by googling "Michigan lighthouse". Next, have your child use a ruler to draw the simple lighthouse outline, then draw the outline of grass and water. Next, using oil pastels, they can color them using smooth, even strokes filling in the grass, water and lighthouse. I recommend leaving the sky black for a beautiful lighthouse at night. I advise against adding scribbly-type stars as stars too often detract from the simple beauty of this art project. Children can also research how lighthouses are important in protecting ships on our Great Lakes.
