Newpaper Sculpture

Who does not have a stack of newspaper in their classroom that keeps on growing? We decided to turn our rather large stack into art. We rolled up newspaper and taped them into long and short tubes. We placed these newspaper sticks (tubes) in the middle of the table with masking tape and let the children create what they wanted to out of the items. This is what they came up with. Once they were done with assembling it they had to paint it. It was a rainy day and this turned into a great project for the day because they stuck with it for about 45 min to 1 hour. Not bad for a 10 hour day with 24 children on a rainy day.
