Frosty Snowflakes with Winter Quotes


This was a two day project that I managed to squeeze into the last week of school before Christmas vacation. I originally saw a version of this project somewhere online, but I can't remember where. If it's your lesson- please leave a comment so I can credit you!

The first class, students created a watercolour background using liquid watercolours and salt. This creates a frosty pattern effect. 

Next class, students cut out a snowflake (this gets harder and harder each year with students I find). They glued this onto their background along with a winter themed quite they chose.
I mounted them onto larger blue paper and they created designs 
in the border using a paint pen. 




Grade 4/5 results!
