Color & Cut

Step 1 was Collection.
Step 2 of our Christmas art project - Each student colored the 8 papers downloaded from here. 
Even though the pictures are the same the way they colored them allowed for creativity and expression.
.
Step 3: Students cut out the figures in all 8 pages.
This is going to take a while!
As of today we have 3 and 1/2 pages cut and ready after 1 hour of work.
I'm finding this is great practice in following directions 
-which lines to cut and which lines NOT to cut!
Using scissors  -another important life skill learned in 1st and 2nd grades!
And stick-to-itive-ness - will they be able to see the project through to completion?
