This concludes my second week at SCPA and my first week of teaching projects from the beginning to end! I was so excited when my mentor mentioned her love for tiny little Matryoshka dolls (Russian stacking dolls). I was excited to work with her to plan this project! Several sets of Matryoshka doll examples, both 2-D and 3-D were on display for the students to see. Kindergarteners used stencils to cut out three different sized dolls. These dolls were decorated with lines, shapes and patterns. Then, they were glued together with popsicle sticks between to hold them up in their foamboard bases (making them look like large game pieces). Students chose matching eyes and cheeks from buttons and foam shapes and had a pipecleaner smile!

Arty On!
