I had several boxes of old magazines sitting around my house, so I decided to finally put them to good use. This project is fairly straight forward. My students cut out circles to create the flower, and rolled the magazines to create a center. The stems and the grass was simply cut out and glued down.
For the most part, the flowers all look the same. If I were to do this project again, I think I would encourage my students to experiment with different sizes and shapes for the flower petals.
A nice group display and good recycling!
ReplyDeleteI just love these! They came out so nicely. Did they get to choose their background color or did you randomly hand out colors?
ReplyDeleteThey chose their color. They had a choice of red, blue, or purple.
DeleteEffective, child centered work. Thanks.
