During this 1st grade project, we combined texture and balance to create these lovely cupcakes. We began by using crayon and paper to do texture rubbings on the bottom of the cupcake. The kids went around my room and 'recorded' as many different textures as they could find. Then, we glued the cupcakes onto our paper, making sure they were balanced. We added tissue paper for some extra texture (and made sure that was balanced too!). Then, the final step was frosting! I mixed up glue and shaving cream and let the kids add it to the top of the cupcakes to make our frosting puffy, soft, fluffy, spongy, nice, squishy and fun!
