Winter Mitten Symmetry Craft
By Kayla • April 3, 2018
Mix a bit of math and crafting with this fun mitten symmetry craft! While the project is simple, it offers a great opportunity for your students to create some colorful decorations for the classroom as well as build foundational math skills.
To complete the craft...
- Start with a folded piece of construction paper, drawing or tracing a mitten shape along the creased edge. Cut out the mitten, being sure to leave the folded edge intact.
- Invite students to open the cutout and use squeeze bottles of puffy paint to decorate on one side of the fold.
- When satisfied with decorating, have students carefully refold the shape and press lightly.
- Upon reopening the mitten, your kiddos will be thrilled to see that their design has been transferred across the fold - a perfect mirror image.
- Let the mittens dry completely, the cut along the fold and connect the separated mitten shapes with a piece of yarn. {Optional}
