One project that doesn't look that complex at first, yet had more  to it one may think was our quilt project. Color choice played a vital role in this activity. That was a good thing because it helped make everyone's project similar, yet unique.

This is a picture of my quilt. It was made on plan paper. To for the design we were all guided through steps of color choosing, cutting, and gluing.

Notice the top four squares. Each one of these is made of four tiny squares that contain 1/4 of a circle. When placed together it makes for an unique design that looks fancy and fun.

I feel that this project could be used in an elementary history or social studies class. While talking aboud heritage and or traditions something like this could be tied in. This would provide a break from the books and the children a chance to take pride in their creativity.
