Day 1: Introduce Claes Oldensburg. As a class, come up with the different toppings that could be on a pizza. As students come up with them, write them on the side and then have the students draw and color the toppings on the circle to make a class pizza.

Day 2: Have students draw and make their crust. Cut out and glue to tag board. Paint on red sauce and then glue on white and yellow Easter grass for cheese.

Day 3: Add other ingredients (at least 3 ingredients, 5 of each ingredient on pizza).

I did this with 2nd grade and they loved it! The hard part is getting the Easter grass to stay glued down...it takes a lot of glue!
