This ended up being a 3 day project. One the first day we discussed how some things are symmetrical, they are the same on both sides like a mirror image. We then took a piece of paper, folded it in half, and drew half of an image along the fold. Students were very creative during this, I had a lot of monsters, robots, and animals. After they drew half of the image, they took the paper to to window and traced it to make both sides the same. They then traced over all their lines with a crayon.
On the second day, students painted in their object using watercolors.
Finally, on the third day, students cut out their image and glued it in the middle of a piece of colored construction paper. We then folded the construction paper in half and cut around the image, but made sure to leave some space to decorate. Students then decorated the edge of the construction paper with construction paper crayons.
