I found something like this on Pinterest and went from there. I introduced the second grade students to the Japanese love of spring cherry blossoms. They then created these by painting watercolor backgrounds the first class and then brown tempera branches and stamped tempera blossoms the second class. We used 20 oz. pop bottle bottoms to stamp the flowers. It just happened to be around Earth Day, so we were able to connect recycling and repurposing materials. I loved how these turned out.
