Craft Gift Goals:
-
Uses materials I already had
-
Students create independently.
My garden isn’t blooming yet, I bought fake flowers from $ store for our flower shop for spring unit.
I keep a collection of various plastic bottles for saving the earth while having fun while saving $, haha.
A friend’s daughter outgrew her washi tape, I had a surplus. If I hadn’t, I probably would have left that out.

I did not include ribbon, guess who’s going to be tying the ribbon on, or helping with it? I wanted this to be a no holds barred CREATION, using ALL MASTERED SKILLS.
Favorite Photo= The messy table afterwards!
Acadamic take? Allow students to use as many different materials as possible in expected and unexpected ways.
This is an empty 7-up bottle (green) and the 6 year old decorated it with cards taped all around the bottle! The owl is a colored picture and he wrote on the others.
This is both sides of the same vase.
Possibilities are endless!
