2nd Grade: Hot Air Balloons

Paper Mache was fun, messy, challenging, and excited all in one! Students used balloons and paper maches to create their shell for the shape of their hot air balloons. I added an extra challenge to this project, by teaching students about complimentary colors. These are colors across from each other on the color wheel. The students were only aloud to use complimentary colors and black and white to paint whatever design they wanted on their hot air balloon.
