Plaid Bunnies

I thought this was an adorable activity for very young students.  I doubt that their lines would be as straight as mine but they would love the bunny.  This was really simple, we were arranged by table, each table having complementary colors.  We all painted the warm color first then the cool color.  The teacher then read us a story, when the story was over we used a pattern to cut out the bunny form and glued him together.  A simple black marker let us complete the facial features and we had a wonderful spring decoration for mom to put on the fridge.
The integration that was presented in class was to learn about the common uses of plaid and to read a Language Arts story about a little girl who accidentally turned the whole world plaid.  Learning about different ways the create plaid especially weaving could give an extra aspect.
