In this activity, students will go outside to explore the natural colors in their surroundings. They will use natural objects to color Christmas-themed pictures by rubbing them onto the paper. Encourage students to experiment with different items, as crushing the natural materials before rubbing can produce more vibrant results.
This is a wonderful activity for the end of term and can create a beautiful Christmas-themed display for your classroom. Additionally, the rubbings can be turned into Christmas cards for students to send home.
We think you'll also love our Christmas Counting outdoor lesson for your early mathematicians.
