My Project

My art students love to create sculptures. Sometimes we use clay, folded paper, and found objects. This project will focus on using a commonly found material that is cost effective for schools: cardboard.

This ChompSaw is a safe way for my students to cut cardboard, similar to a table saw, allowing them to create amazing cardboard sculptures, mazes, architectural models, structures, 3-D forms, and more!

This project is also extremely eco-friendly and teaches children the value of using materials such as cardboard.

This new Chompsaw will be used in the art room as well as in our STEM room. The art and STEM teacher will work together to plan projects for students. Our School currently has one Chompsaw but with up to 24 students in a class we are trying desperately to obtain another one. The ChompSaw Bundle includes several important accessories such as a child-safe punch, a scoring tool, and a helpful workbook.

Thank you for considering supporting this project.
