This week we made Valentine mailbags.
We love open-ended projects that let the children "choose their own adventure".
We provided them with plain bags and a variety of pre-cut hearts.
Cutting hearts is a lesson that we will have. I know that they can cut straight and curved lines, so they could cut hearts, however we didn't want them to get bogged down with that task. This "Coyote" is a prime example of why! I am not sure that the designer could have made his amazing coyote, complete with bloody teeth and pointy ears if he had had to focus on cutting ALL the hearts necessary to make a Valentine Coyote!
Open ended left us with such a precious variety of mailbags.
We had a lizard, a robot, and a frog...
a love bug with a hair bow...
an elephant, and many, many more.
Happy Valentines Day!
