Kindergarteners make Lady Liberty "statues"

This week the group was studying monuments and what better monument to create than the Statue of Liberty? 


This was a bit time consuming and  involved for the kindergarteners so I cut and assembled the base before class of a tp roll and a cardboard egg cup. The kids threaded the straw through to make the arm with a bend, added the crown, and covered the whole thing with green tissue paper. They made the torch by themselves and seemed to have a good time adding the flames. They were not really sure about using their fingers to spread the glue but managed well when supplied with wet paper towels to wipe their fingertips.


They really turned out well and will be made by the 1st grade in about a month.
