3D Bubble Wrap Printed Pineapple

A fun and easy project any age or ability can create!

I am making these with disabled students so I'm going to use my Cricut to cut out the sections of the pineapple and the top.  

The link to the cut files is:

Using Bubble wrap print your colors on the sections of pineapple.

First choose your colors and I find foam brushes work best for this.

I asked my students to paint the entire sheet of bubble wrap with yellow first and then to add the other colors wherever they wanted them.

Next put the bubble wrap over the sections of the pineapple and push down to print.

You have to do this quickly or the paint will dry before you print.

You can use other colors of paper also:

Once the pineapples are dry fold them one at a time with the painted side inside.

I used a glue stick to glue the sections together.

Once you have all 4 sections glued together open the top and glue the leaves into the top.

50th Anniversary of Apollo 11 Snoopy in Space Art Project

July 20th is the 50th Anniversary of the Moon Landing so I wanted to do a fun lesson with my students about this amazing moment in our history.  Snoopy has been a mascot for NASA for 50 years also, and they still award NASA employees with a Silver Snoopy Pin.

I was looking for a fun way to make the moon and found this lesson online:

Using this idea I made my Moon on an 8" circle of white paper with metallic silver and white acrylic paint and aluminum foil stampers.

Using this template I cut snoopy out of white card stock.

 I cut his nose off to make mine a little bit different.

I used 81/2 X 11" Card Stock as the background.  I cut the moon in half and made the edges bumpy then glued it on the background.

Using a cup I covered the spot where snoopy's space helmet would be and made stars by dipping a toothbrush in white paint and scraping my finger over the bristles. 

While the stars are drying draw the details on your white snoopy with a pencil and then a Sharpie.

I tied a scarf around his neck using this yarn:

Now it's ready for Snoopy to be glued on the moon and I drew a circle around the cup with a white colored pencil to make his space helmet.

I found the Apollo 11 image and the flag online.  If you want to add them I just Googled American Flag and Apollo 11.
Some student work - this is a group from an assisted living center where I teach.
