Up, up and Away!

Continuing with our "Traveling Around the World" theme, we "visited" France where the hot air balloon was invented. After a brief science lesson on hot vs. cold air, we began assembling our balloons.

 

We started by decorating the balloon with pattern and coloring in with oil pastels.

 

Then cutting and gluing construction paper to create a layered background.

 

 

And finishing with a photo in a basket held on my yarn.

 

All of them turned out great...and the kids really enjoyed posing for their high-flying pictures!
