Woven Flowers

After I pre-cut paper plates with 7 cuts the second graders practiced their weaving skills with yarn. 
I stapled the weavings onto cardboard sticks to create a stem and then they could turn the weavings into flowers.  The colored the remaining space on the plate that was showing.  The students also made butterflies and insects which they are studying in science class that I stapled on so that they could stand up as 3-D from the flower.
