This is a fabulous project to use with a history lesson about Harriet Tubman and her impact on US History and Slavery.
Step 1: Cut out a lantern shape from the red construction paper. Save the scraps, you will need it later. I folded my sheet of paper in half lengthwise and lightly drew a lantern shape. Then, we cut that shape out and set it aside.
Step 2: Cut out the lantern’s globe using yellow paper. I folded the paper in half lengthwise and lightly drew the shape of a lantern globe.
Step 3: Cut out the lantern globe and set it aside.
Step 4: Use the scraps of orange, red, and even some yellow to make a small flame. Start with the red or orange scraps and cut out a large flame. Then, cut two smaller flames with the remaining colors.
Step 5: Glue the flames on the bottom of the globe, layering the largest on the bottom and the smallest on the top.
