Arts and Crafts Sturdy Style

My Project

The materials in this project will allow my students to make gifts for parents, make crafts in class, and make file folder academic games.

The laminator will allow us to make our projects sturdy so presents can be kept for years by parents, and games can be used repeatedly, year after year, for multiple students.

The colored paper, as well as the sharpie markers, come in quite handy for gifts for Christmas calendars, Easter handprints, and Mother's Day gifts. It will also help us make self checking academic games that students can use when they finish assignments early as review materials.
