These Sun Stone boxes have been created using small cardboard boxes, collage materials and gems. Art was an important part of Aztec life and items such as jewellery and feather-work, were worn by the Aztec nobility to set them apart from the commoners. The Sun Stone is perhaps the most famous work of Aztec sculptures. I first prepared some boxes and cut a hole in the top - just so the children can use the box to keep pencils or personal belongings in. I then printed come circle templates onto sugar paper and they used this as a base for their sun stone designs. I had a box full of collage papers and they designed a different sun stone for each side of the box and finally the top. They cut them out and glued to the sides of the box and added extra detail with pens and gems for a finishing sparkle!
