This is my little boy’s first Canada Day in Toronto and to mark the occassion, I thought we could create a piece of art that reflects his favourite things in this city. So, on a recent morning walk, I asked him to point out all all the things he likes most. The list was surprisingly simple: trees, flowers, the lake, tall buildings, and the very large Canadian flag in Coronation Park along the waterfront.
When we got home, I quickly created cut-outs of his favourite things. This is what we made.
Materials:
- Construction paper
- Scissors
- White glue
Process:
1. Cut out all of your objects
2. At the very bottom of the cut-out, crease the paper to make a small flap
3. Apply glue to the flap, and attach to a large sheet of construction paper. The cut out should pop-up immediately.
4. Continue process with all elements until landscape is created.
