Here is a simple little flower art project I set up this week in my classroom. Below you can see the way I've set it up on my stationary shelf. From left to right are: basket of watercolor paper cut into small rectangles; green marker for adding stems and leaves; jar with pencil for writing name on paper; bowl of circle dot stickers (office supply stickers); empty basket for papers off the back of stickers; basket of Do-A-Dot markers; placemat for painting on.
To do this project the child takes a paper and write their name on the back. They choose one sticker dot and place it near the center of their paper. Using a dot marker, they dot "petals" around the "center". Then (if they wish) they use the green marker to add a stem and leaves. Below you can see a few flowers painted by some of my students. These are perfect little flowers to give to a friend OR to give to MOM for Mother's Day.
I have been looking through your blog, I love your projects they are so cute and the fabric projects are awesome.Thanks for sharing,

I'm just amazed at how much snow you have...tomorrow is the 1st of February and we're still 'snow less' for the winter...I don't know what's happened, but I'm not complaining..though it does look nice.
Glad you had a nice time browsing the stores for inspiration, spending your birthday certificates and building burgers!!
