Stepping Stones



In this lesson students were asked to, "Step into art."  They got to create their own personal stepping stones using media of their choice (beads, rocks, pictures, leafs, yarn, ect..).  They first learned the history of a form of stepping stones - mosaic.  Then they got to use their creativity to create their own stepping stone.  Kindergarteners would have a lot of fun with project and could give the final stepping stone away as a gift or keep it for themselves. 

Extension: Students will share their stepping stone with the class during circle time and maybe share who they would like to give it to and why.  This could also be used during science class while talking about rocks and formation for the older classes.
