Mother’s Day flowers bloom at Mars Area
ADAMS TWP — First-grade students gathered together paper stems and cut-out flowers to create homemade Mother’s Day bouquets for family members in art classes this week.
Art teacher Katie Frye at Mars Area Primary Center came up with the project as a simple, creative craft for young kids.
“I always kind of present it as something that they can do for their moms, but also somebody else that might mean a lot to them, like a grandmother, or an aunt, or a cousin,” Frye said. “I just tried to think of something that they could do in one day, that was different than a drawing. They usually like doing things that are three-dimensional like this, because they don’t get to do it all the time.”
Students cut green pieces of construction paper into long strips and glued them together with small flowers to create the craft.
