Summer flip flops

 

1. Justification: We will make our own flip flops to make pupils aware of how much they can achieve by themselves. This activity tries to raise awareness of the different seasons of the year.

3. Time scheduled: 2 sessions of 45’

4. Steps: Trace your flip flops on the box, and cut them out. Decorate them and let them to dry. Make a hole on the flip flop to put the two stems and fold over on the underside. Put the color balls along the stems. Make 2 holes in each flip flop between the middle and back of the flip flop to thread the stem through.
