Chomp, Chomp, ChompSaw: Cutting Through Cardboard for Creativity

Help me give my students a ChompSaw for an added opportunity to safely create more 3-dimensional art.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Dentel's classroom raised $450

This project is fully funded

My Project

As a choice-based Visual Art Teacher who works with upk-2nd graders, I am blessed to get a glimpse into their amazing imaginative minds. What they are creating 2-dimensionally is amazing, but our opportunities to work in 3-d is limited because of cost of materials. Cardboard is so readily available for FREE! Cardboard is such a readily available material, but so tricky and unsafe for small children to cut. Endless creative possibilities!

The ChompSaw would provide my tiny artists with an expanded opportunity to create more sculptures and bring their imaginations to life, 3-dimensionally.

Through teaching my students how to use this safe tool, I could make so many connections to real-world applications, connecting to future career possibilities as designers, architects, contractors, etc...
