It's About Time for Presidents Day!

I reached into the archives to pull out this craftivity.  It's a fun way to make a Presidents' Day display.  

For every student you will need 1 sheet each of red, white and blue construction paper.  I used 8" x 8" square sheets, but you can avoid a lot of cutting by using 9" x 12". You will also need cardboard patterns of Washington & Lincoln.  I found silhouettes online, printed them, and then traced them on cardboard.  Cut them out and your resources are ready.

Since paper weaving has been around forever, I'm assuming you know how to create the woven background.  After each student has chosen which 2 colors to use for the weaving part, ask them to exchange 1 of those sheets for about 6 - 8 pre-cut strips of the same color.  I supply the 1" strips.

When the weaving is completed, each child should borrow the silhouette pattern of their choice to trace on their remaining sheet of paper. 

The beauty of this project is that by encouraging your students to choose 2 colors of their choice for the background, saving the 3rd for the silhouette, you will give your classroom a burst of color without having all 20+ projects look the same. 

Following are some resources for Presidents' Day that I think you will love:

These products are not specifically for Presidents' Day, but rather for any patriotic holiday.
