When every paper plate face is complete, they can all be added to your bulletin board for a wonderful display. Each student traces their hands onto construction paper. The construction paper hands are cut out using safety scissors and the children write their names on their handprints. The handprints can be attached to the tree trunk as leaves. Each student receives a paper tube from toilet tissue or paper towel roll.
Students can decorate their tube as they wish.
You can provide paint, crayons, stickers, glitter, pencil crayons, markers, tissue paper and glue, or whatever you have at your disposal. Once the tubes are decorated, attach them as a fantastic border around your bulletin board. On your bulletin board, attach a large circle cut from yellow construction paper. You might instead wish to cover your board with craft paper and paint a yellow circle on the paper. Next, attach yellow construction or crepe paper pieces all around the circle to create the sunflower petals.
