sunflowers...


I had a bunch of yellow plates that I was going to use for another project, but never got around to it, so I came up with this texture project for second grade. Using twine, the students glued it to the middle of the plate for the seeds. To give a neat look with the twine, they spiraled it - and used A LOT of glue to keep it in place!!! Next they cut the edges of the plate to make petals and lastly added a stem with some leaves using tag board.

  2. Thanks, Clare! My principal thought they were pretty darn cute also. The twine was a treasure find in my art room. Someone before me must have purchased it...
