Tinfoil Hearts with Kindergarten

The Kindergartners made these lovely mixed media heart pictures.  They started by stamping the background paper with gadgets, such as old thread spools, bottle caps, heart sponges, cookie cutters and more.

During the second class period, they traced a heart onto a piece of heavy duty tinfoil and colored designs with Sharpie markers.  They also glued on tissue paper squares and glitter.  After they finished their tinfoil hearts, I covered them in clear contact paper.  During the third class period, they cut out their tinfoil hearts (made sturdy by the contact paper) and glued these on to colored pieces of construction paper and then finally glued the whole thing on to their stamped background. Fiskars Paper Edgers added a decorative edge to the construction papers.
