Pinwheels for PEACE
Here are the Tuesday class pinwheels. Thursday's class will make some too, and then Escondido Children's Museum will display them all on Friday, Sept 21.making pinwheels for peace
Just 7 kids in class today. They each made two pinwheels for peace, one for us to display on International Peace Day, Sept 21, and one to take home. On one side they wrote their feelings about war/peace/tolerance/living in harmony, and then they decorated the other side with oil pastels, color pencils and tissue collage. Templates and directions are on the Pinwheels for Peace 2007 website.
