5th grade Ring Pops

 

5th grade created these ring pops a couple of years ago, and it's been a staple for them in my curriculum, ever since! I got the idea from Katie Gray (@howgraythouart) on Instagram, and knew my students would enjoy this one! Let me tell you, they sure did! It' doesn't take a lot of complicated things either, so I was able to do it in my portable (that didn't have a sink for two years) 

Here's what supplies we used! 

Student watercolor paper

Crayola Markers 

Big kid's choice brushes

Neon tempera paint

Tru Ray paper

Ring Pops

I'm also going to get them ring pops while they work!

Here's a video showing each step, if you want to follow along with us!
