2nd Grade: Mix Media Bird Houses

Second grade created these adorable bird house in hopes of Spring soon to be upon us.
We observed the texture found in wooden boards and recreated what we observed with crayons and watercolors. The wax in the crayons creates a resist that pushes away the water in the watercolors leaving a really cool effect on the paper. (Science is AWESOME!)

On another sheet of paper we colored a background that matched a different times of day that our birds would be experiencing. 
We added some trimmed green a paper and set to work building our houses out of our 'sheet of wood'.  Soon the birds started to flock to our homes. Chirp, Chirp!
