Stocking Caps

First grade used resist to add patterns to these winter stocking caps. I gave them tracers of the caps, which they traced onto white paper. They then added patterns with white crayons--remember to put pressure on the crayon to make it very waxy. Next, they chose a color of watercolor to paint their hats. Lastly they cut out the hats and used tissue paper to make the pom pom on top (small torn pieces, glued to the top). Each hat was glued to black paper and the negative space was colored.
