Instructions

1. Cut construction paper into 8" x 8" squares.
2. Send home a construction paper square with each child, along with a note
instructing the child and his family to decorate the square as a group project.
Encourage them to be creative.
3. When the children bring in their completed squares, encourage them to share
their squares with the rest of the children. Then put all the squares together
to look like a real quilt.
4. Hang the "quilt" in the room. This makes a nice display to be enjoyed all year
long.
More to do
Send home a note asking the children to bring in a real quilt from home. Ask the
parent to write information about the quilt and send it in. For example, where
the quilt came from, who made it, and for what occasion it was received. You
will probably get some wonderful stories and it makes a very nice Show and Tell.
