Love Bomb

                Have you seen No Time For Flashcards “Love Bomb”

                      When I saw it I knew we would have to try it.

                             We did it as a cooperative art project. 
The children spent half the morning using scissors and hole punches to make the
                        pieces of paper to put in the paper bags. 

 Thankfully a few adults helped out too.

I prepped the canvas differently by taping our hearts down first and then letting
                                  the children spread glue all over.

                               Then we started popping the bags.

          Popping and popping.  Almost every child, that wanted to, had a turn.

Sometimes it was hard to pop the bag but once it was the bits of paper were
                                    sprinkled all over the canvas.  

We put it aside to dry for a bit.

Then  it was time to peel off the green hearts.  We had to find them first, hiding
                                  under all the coloured bits.

         This is our Love Bomb, even the green hearts look splendid.

 I took some time this afternoon to document and post it in the hall way. 
            Maybe to inspire other classes to give it a try.

    1. Sandi, your students would love it. They would probably be better at popping the bags then we were too. Give it a try.
