This is a wonderful mural to create! I put up two rows of white bulletin board paper and framed it in a black paper with big scallop edges.
This is the mural in process. I failed to take a final photo! So sad – it was so beautiful. You know, sometimes it is the best projects I failed to photography because I am wrapped up in the enjoyment of it all!!
Step One: We painted the background with broad brush strokes of blue, purple and green watered down tempera.
Step Two: Paint green construction paper with a variety of green and blue paint.
Step Three: I gave the children tracers to make their lily pads.
Step Four: The children then crumbled up layers of yellow and pink tissue paper.
Step Five: They pinched the middle to create the flower and glued it on to the lily pads.
Step Six: They glued their flower to the pond. You do have to wipe away drips!

Oooh I love this. We’ve done Monet’s Waterlilies with just tissue paper and glue. I love the size of this one. Very cool
Wow! Love it!
It looks terrific – I love the size!
