This project can be modified by drawing the jar as a simple silhouette or with dimensional ovals as shown.1. I cut jar templates from letter-size chip board and gave one to each student. I had them trace the jar in pencil on a 9" x 12" paper.
2. Limit the early crayon color selection to minimize mistakes. Students traced the jar in blue and drew a ground line in green. Then the plants were drawn above the ground, and roots were drawn in white below. I found that going straight to crayon worked fine. Sometimes drawing in pencil and then tracing slows the process down. Lastly, flowers were added to the plants. Emphasize that the coloring needs to be heavy so they should press hard throughout.
3. I distributed watercolor paints and had the students use different colors for the ground, the jar and the background.

I did this project last year with a couple of 8-year-olds, and they loved it, and did extra terrarium pictures just for fun. The magic of seeing the roots appear delights the children.
Darling. A great twist on the watercolor resist, and a good tie-in for science classes. Love it!

Thank you for this wonderful project. The 1st graders loved it and so did the teachers. I precut jar templates for each student to trace and that really helped each student feel successful with their finished painting. Thanks again, I love your projects!
