Found Object Snowflake Printing First Grade Lesson

This lesson came from a picture on Pinterest.  First graders enjoyed printmaking with found objects and white tempera paint.  I gave them a variety of objects like these.

 

They used the edge of a piece of cardboard to make the basic shape of the snowflake with white tempera paint on dark blue or burgundy paper.

 

Then they printed with the other objects to make a beautiful snowflake.

 

A picture frame was made and dry snowflake prints were stapled onto frame.
