Sunflowers

These turned out BEAUTIFULLY!

Look at those proud faces!


Your children amaze me!  

We traced a CD and then painted the circle with tempera paint-we talked about how to use a paintbrush and working slowly and carefully.

(Boy, do the kids LOVE to paint!  And we are going to do a whole bunch of painting this year.)

They each made their sunflower unique to them and I just adore the variety.  Their flowers dried till the next week, and we finished up the background using chalk pastels which are wonderful for blending with a finger and so bright also. 

Children had the option of outlining their flowers with black crayon or leaving them as they were.  

They each chose their mat color and I hung them in the hallways.  They are SO proud of them and I am also!
