Second grade artists have recently finished up these cool plug-in robots.  The head and body is created by tracing around an outlet switch plate cover, and the arms and legs are made by tracing around the trays that hold watercolors.  We did this project last year too, and it was so successful and the kids loved it ….so I repeated it this year.

I’ve been focusing on shading techniques with my second graders this year, and I think it shows in their creative coloring on these pieces.
