Every month a new class is chosen to decorate the boards at
school (themed and a positive word to learn). This time it has to be a flower, made by all in the family, and the word is cooperation (hence us
working together). I had a hard time trying to figure out how to put it all
together. It needed to be easy and all take some kind of part.
First I printed out coloring pages (only the youngest
colored). I had the bright idea they could color sunflowers and add their
picture/face to the center. That didn't seem to work out too well...
So, than I started to search for "paper flower
crafts". I figured that it could either be cut out construction paper or
3d by using tissue paper. I found a few truly adorable sites, which I book
marked just in case I need them next year. I think the school does this not
just to showcase the childrens' work but to have families do things together
(we have no problem in that area, as a family we do a lot).
We ended up using two sets of construction paper to form the
flower. I figured it could be more like when I did the Hawaiian scrapbooking
theme. I even used a green flower in front of a blue one for those photos.
Collaboration... Assistance... Teamwork... Support
Thanks for sharing in this experience with us... ~*Bless*~
