We had such fun this week creating our bird's eye view snowmen!
However, the project started in a boring manner.Very.
Very.
Boring.
Mrs. Beliveau asked everyone to draw white snowflakes on white paper.
Ummm ... not exactly exciting, now is it?
However, soon the boys and girls were "ooooohhhh-ing" and "aaaahhhhh-ing"! Using water-based tempera paint, we were able to make our snowflakes appear, as if by magic!
As our paint dried, we set to work on our snowmen. Using pastels, we traced the three balls of the snowman's body and used our fingers to smudge the pastels inward.
After Mrs. Beliveau hot-glued the three snowballs together, including a little stack of cardboard in between to make each ball "pop" out, we were ready for the next step ... details!
Noses, arms, buttons, scarves, eyes, and even a few eyelashes were added to give our snowmen personality!
