This is a MINI-project, but such FUN!
In Japan, the MON crest represents a family and their name, perhaps including some history. In this mini-project,you'll create a crest to represent YOUR family name. The materials are simply different colors of construction paper. Click on these links to read about the MON crests and view some samples. Your crest is due Friday, October 20. Use one color of construction paper as the background, cut out the second piece of paper in a contrasting color. Select a SIMPLE design that represents your family, then glue that on the larger piece of construction paper.
