Cooperation



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*~
