We are in need of an adaptive easel for students that this may work for.

And even for me, I have a really hard time getting a rubber stamp correctly placed without getting other parts of the stamp on my project so that I have those odd little bits of color in places i don't want them!!

Bulletin board paper was the easiest for the giant paper food. We have had everything from nachos, to giant box of dots (with big yogurt containers as support for dots.) to giant lemonade with clear contact paper for glass. I haven't done it with special needs, but in summer camp, 5 days 2 hours a day. Day one we get inspiration from food mags, I find this helps them conceptualize the work and stimulates ideas<br />we also work on paper skills like curling etc. Then building, most kids get one major project done in the 5 days with also helping on a couple of group projects. The engineering skills are so important. with Giant animals we use all kinds of things and lots of masking tape and newpaper. we cover with tape for young ones and then paint, older kids can cover with paper towel paper mache style or my favorite is strips of fabric, dipped in liquid starch. beautiful, we have had a 7 ft giraffe done by a 10 year old and covered in yellow sheets with white daisy, and black lines(retro from 70's) Big yards of fabric help so they don't look like patchwork, but that could work also. Had a 9 foot long dragon, done by 11 year old I watched her bite off more than she had time with, but then came in extra hours to get it done, recruited help from familiy, but maintained her design choices, she project managed it like a pro, engineering experience and time management priceless. We continually find new ways to try and push these. I even did it in a 6 week course with 1 and 1/2 hour each week and kids maintained their interest and enthusiasm the whole time. Even the 6 year olds.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00109015615136903683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966154033686688671.post-4297442525139914292015-11-02T15:29:13.367-05:002015-11-02T15:29:13.367-05:00Do you have the demonsions for this?

Your blog was very inspiring for me to read. Unfortunately, here in the Caribbean (yes, paradise) schools do not have access to the kinds of art supplies that are readily available in the states. Funds are not easy to come by either. I don't have a background in art, I am simply picking up where another volunteer left off, and would love to hear some ideas for inexpensive art projects, if you would have time. Things involving sand, chalk, recycled materials - the school I work at doesn't have paints or crayons or papers, I purchase all those things myself. Anyway, great blog!jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02263989821197326910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966154033686688671.post-51174426151638704612012-02-18T13:45:11.490-05:002012-02-18T13:45:11.490-05:00what a great blog, just been perusing it :) Some ...what a great blog, just been perusing it :) Some lovely art ideas hereSarah Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08746759211357915712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966154033686688671.post-32277098900143813852011-11-05T03:53:26.818-04:002011-11-05T03:53:26.818-04:00WONDERFUL idea!
