Brainstorm some ideas with your class for goal setting and focus words. Let them choose 4 templates pieces (7 options included) to create a unique and creative hot air balloon ready for lift-off!
Let's make a hot air balloon craft
- print, color and cut template pieces (choose from a 3 or 4 panel 3D balloon)
- fold each piece in half on the guidelines
- tape a piece of string down the center of one set (balloon and basket)
- put glue on one side of the set
- add the next sets by gluing on a folded half and following the process again
- the final 4th balloon will be glued down entirely to cover both halves
- open and expand the flaps to create your 3D balloon
- another option is to create purely decorative balloons by using the blank template option
- we used Micador watercolors and love their bright colors and rich, creamy texture
The balloons will create a gorgeous display of your focus goals for the year and you can point to them and remind your students to 'aim high' if they start to give up!
This craft is over in our TpT store ready and waiting for you!
