Wool Angels & Fairies

The is is another first grade project. They learned to tie wool into lovely Angels & fairies then we tied them with fishing line to a grapevine wreath and made hanging mobiles.
They look very heavenly in the class room.

Finished Chickees!

This is what the 1st grade did with that wet felt fabric they hand made.
I brought in herbs & dried flowers for them to choose from and the stuffed these delightful chickees with herbs like lavender, chamomile, spearmint & Rose.
They then used pieces of Sari fabric to sew around the border for embellishment. Finally they added wood beads for the eyes and a feather for the tail.
I am amazed at what these little hands were able to make.
I am so proud of these Chickees . Each so Unique and lovely!
They got to take them home in a basket of real Easter grass they grew.

Wet Felting

The First graders wet felting their own designs. You won't believe what they are going to be using their handmade, hand designed wool fabric for.
The finished pieces are going to be absolutely amazing work for first graders. Project Chickadee is will be finished by Easter and I am looking forward to posting those pics.
