 Project: Decorative Picture Frame

Supplies:

 8 craft sticks
 1 paper plate
 1 glue stick and 1 bottle of liquid glue
 glitter
 1 set of crayons
 1 pair of safety scissors
 construction paper

Teachers: The goal of this Project is to practice coloring and building

forms by constructing a picture frame. The students will decorate the
frames using colorful crayons, glitter, and construction paper. The
frame can be used to hold one of their favorite pictures. The frame will
be square, likely requiring that the photograph be cut to fit.

Ask:

 Why are pictures important?

 What kinds of moments do people like to capture with pictures?
 What kinds of pictures do you have at home?
 What kind of picture would you like to put in your picture frame?
Instructions:

1. Start by gathering your supplies.

2. Color your sticks using your crayons.

3. Apply a layer of glue using your glue stick and sprinkle glitter on
your sticks.

4. Use dabs of liquid glue to glue the ends of 4 sticks together,

forming a square.
5. Use dabs of liquid glue to glue the other 4 sticks to the first 4.
Make the top square of sticks a little bit smaller than the bottom
one.

6. Cut shapes out of construction paper and glue them to your frame.
 7. Add a favorite photo to the frame. Your photo might need to be
cut to fit.
