Today is Day 54 of our stay-at-home time.
RAINBOW CIRCLE ART
Here is the wonderful rainbow circle art that the students did in response to a math bonus challenge!
MOTHER'S DAY (MAY 10th)
Mother's Day is on Sunday. It's traditional to make homemade cards and gifts to give on this day. If you are looking for ideas, there are lots of art and crafts activities on this blog to help you.
Another idea is to use paper to make a necklace for your mother. Here's how:
Do you remember when we made LLLOOOONNNGGG paper chains? They were SO long we had to go into the hall to measure them!
This paper necklace is basically a paper chain BUT it is much smaller and the paper strips are folded in half first before the rings are put together. The reason for this is that it makes the paper chain stronger.
You will need:
* paper (I used pages from a food magazine), a ruler, scissors, pencil, clear tape
What to do:
* Cut paper rectangles about 7 cm long and 1 and a half cm wide BUT you can make them any size. (I used about 40 rectangles for my necklace, but make some extra, just in case.)
* Fold the rectangles in half, long edge to long edge.
* Make circles by forming a circle shape and tape the ends of the rectangle together.
* Start making the paper chain by looping the paper rectangles through another paper circle and taping the circle closed.
* Keep making the paper chain longer until it is long enough to go over an adult's head.
* Close the paper chain circle by using a paper rectangle to loop through the first and last circle and tape that final circle closed.
* If you like, cut a cardboard circle or heart (I used cardboard from a tissue box), and write a message on it.
* Attach the circle or heart to one of the paper chains by looping one of the paper rectangles through a chain and taping the two ends on the back of the cardboard.
