We read "Legend of the Poinsettia" by Tomie DePaola and finished our unit by painting these beautiful poinsettias. I cut a petal shapes from sponges bought at the Dollar Tree. Attached a clothes pin to the top and had my students stamp the petals in either red or pink and even mix the two. The white spots left showing made them even better. We finished them by tracing the flower with glue (3 dots in the center too!) and then added the gold glitter. I think the glitter really makes them pop! Didn't they do a great job on these?
