Kindergarten Fruit Wreaths

Tracing, cutting, folding, gluing, and decorating can be very challenging for Kindergarten students.  This project challenged their fine motor skills and provided repetitive skill-building exercises that also allowed them to be creative.  

When students had made a necessary amount of fruits for their wreaths, they were encouraged to use realistic colors to enhance the appearance of their fruit.  They included brown spots on bananas and pears and highlights on the more shiny fruits like apples and grapes.  They are currently on display by the Treehouse at Ravinia and in the main hallway at Lincoln School.
