WHAT ARE WE DOING?
TODAY’S ACTIVITY
TODAY, we are going to create an awesome flower using Newspaper and a Chopstick. The great thing about this project is these are items you have at home. You can use magazines, old maps and junk mail. By using unneeded materials, it’s great for the environment because :
- Keep objects and materials out of the LANDFILLS.
- They forces us CREATIVELY THINK about the things we don’t want.
- They are a RESOURCE to the Arts. A resource is something that is important, useful, or meaningful.
