Second grade has been learning about bats for their "STEAM" unit. The "A" in "STEAM" is of course....ART. We learned the paper mache process. We first used cardboard to create an armature or skeleton of the bat. And then we used paper mache paste to apply black paper to the sculptures. Finally we used black paint and white crayons to touch up and add details. Very nice, very messy, and my favorite.....very hands on.
