Nothing says "Spring" quite like the first blossoms on the trees.
Whether you have Spring outside or not, you can make beautiful and ever-changing blossoms inside.
I painted some branches. Photocopy paper and tempera paint.
I figured that they would look much more artistic if I put them in empty frames. (Also used to frame loose parts art.)
The "blossoms" are all dollar store buys - buttons, beads, heart table scatter, pom poms ...
Put all together, they are ready for Spring blossom artists.
I love seeing how the kids choose to create.
Some follow the lines of the branches.
Some use all one "type" of blossom. Or two.
One little fellow had a story about each blossom he put on a branch. Some blossoms were girls, some were boys, and they were all going somewhere together. It seemed quite complicated!!
All unique and all beautiful.

ReplyDeleteI was amazed at some the blossom branches my kindergarten kids created.
