Hi friends,
I'm back, a second day in a row! I'm busier than ever, yet I'm finding more time to blog! Go figure! Today was a cold one in Montreal, however the kiddies really wanted to go swimming! So we did!
As usual, I gave the kiddies a template on card stock (Guess what! I'm giving it to you too!) and they traced the swimwear onto their preferred color of construction paper. I don't know if I've ever mentioned (I'm sure you all do this anyway) but I always make a model and place it on the board. I also make several copies of the template, so as to keep the peace! I usually make about 6 for a class of 20. It's a good number. They never finish the writing portion at the same time,
so there is always at least one template available.
I think these turned out darling! The kiddies did such a great job! My favorite little touch is the shoelace drawstring on the swimming trunks. I simply purchased shoelaces at the dollar store, made a bow, and used my hot glue gun to stick them on! Cute right?!?!
Grab yourself the SWIMMING TRUNKS
Don't forget the SWIMSUIT
Until next time...

I like having some kind of art project after the writing is done. I think that this induces reluctant writiers to finish.
ReplyDeleteI agree completely, it make sthe writing all the more meaningful to them and motivates them to "WANT" to write! Publsihing is such an important aspect of writing. :)
DeleteI love your craftivities!! This is another cute one! Thanks for sharing!! :)
