Continued Weekly Activity
3-D Plants
Invite your child to use recycled materials such as cardboard boxes or tubes and empty, clean food containers, to create three-dimensional plants. If no recyclable materials are available, children can use play-doh. Children can reference live plants, plastic or silk plants, or pictures of plants as they build their own plants. Encourage your child to name the plants and make their own labels for them. Please email a picture of any completed work to MsMcGarryCOVID19@gmail.com !
Thank you to all the students and parents that have sent me pictures of the children's work! I will be adding more pictures as they come in!
