This lesson began with a discussion on holidays and certain symbols that may bring about the holiday spirit. Then it went on to talk about the history of print making. I thought this was a creative idea to incorporate art. We each got to sketch our own holiday symbol into a piece of styrofoam. The places we sketched in were going to be the white spots on our print. Than we chose a color of ink and rolled it all over out print. We than placed it onto a piece of construction paper, folded into a card, and rolled the image onto the paper create our own holiday card.
Extension: Students could write cards to people of their choice to give away as gifts. This could be used while talking about various different subjects and could be used to make math cards or vocabulary cards.
