Mayflower Art Projects

1st grade created these Mayflower-inspired collages. I love this project and the kids do too!
We discuss the history of the Mayflower and then create this one-day project.


4th Grade also created a Mayflower project….
Here are their drawings of “The Mayflower in a Bottle” …
