So many lovely spring pictures books to read and share with the class, but this one, Forever Friends is the simplest of stories about true friendship. With a focus on Carin Berger's collaging technique, we recreated a spring scene using a variety of materials with different textures.
The drawer liners were pre cut to fit the paper but still managed to create a few sticky situations. A few friends took the backing off before cutting out their branches, eek. But, with a little teamwork every twig was carefully placed. Next, flowers were cut from the painted paper and leaves were added. The flowers were finished with sharpie detailing. The finale was rolling and wrapping the shredded nest and deciding on its perfect resting location on the cherry blossom trees before choosing a mini egg for their tummies and one for their nests. Hot glue ensured the eggs wouldn't disappear.
