Open-ended Ideas for an Art Project 2

#2 Project: Orange Peel Necklaces

Goals: Enjoyment of the process, sensory awareness, unfamiliar use of familiar equipment, sense of mastery, experimentation, and drawing conclusions from trying things out.

Materials: Orange peels, plastic needles, thread, vegetable tray sorter

1.  Collect orange peels.

 2.  Children cut the orange peel into smaller pieces.

 Great opportunity to smell, touch and talk.

    3. Place them in the vegetable tray sorter.

You can also add wooden beads and cinnamon sticks if you wish.

4. You can start creating the necklaces and smell the orange.

5. You can decorate your house with it and it will add a wonderful scent of Fall to your home.

Enjoy!

Cheers,

Teacher Kira
