So this week is a super fun craft that is a primary need for
all crafters. If you are like me when you decide to start a craft, 24 hours
later your supplies are nowhere to be found. This is a short and easy craft to
do and all you need are some old paint cans, a hot glue gun, crafting paper,
and some crafting tools to fill the paint cans with. Once you make your
wonderful paint cans, you can go ahead and start to stack them in a pyramid formation
(make sure you glue the paint cans together, or the pyramid will not
work).
As you all may, or may not know, there is always room to
add some academic connections to your super fun crafts. There are many academic
connections that you can use for this craft, but I am only going to stick with
two of them. The first connection that you could make would be a connection to
social studies. This is not really a clear connection, but if you have read
then you will notice that you glue all of your finished cans together into a
pyramid. Pyramids are widely known for the Egyptian culture and so, pyramids go
together great for a social studies connection. This next connection is also
not a totally clear connection either, but it can certainly be related to
English Language Arts. This connection is made by using all of the pens and
pencils that were just added to your paint can pyramid so you can write an
essay for your English class. Well thank you so much for taking your time to
read this blog. I hope that you enjoyed! Please comment!
