EXPLORATORY- Choose one of the following options.
OPTION 1) Watch the following video which uses newspapers to make flowers: Newspaper craft - easy craft idea for kids | PAPER FLOWER | easy art and craft ideas with newspaper - YouTube. Make a flower for someone special in your life that makes sacrifices and helps you. In a video or with a couple of sentences, tell me who you gave your flower to.
