First graders do a concert every year at our school called Dreaming Around the World. I thought this project would be great to go along with the bedtime theme. We looked at Faith Ringgold's story quilts and talked about our favorite things about bedtime and then drew pictures about it. We also looked at pattern and how to use lines to create patterns. Each student had 5 strips of paper and used crayons to create patterns on them. We painted a watercolor wash over them. When they were dry I cut them up into 4 inch squares to use as the border. Check out our finished artwork.
