Christmas Fun in my Class!

Anonymous — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 14:36:00 GMT

My students and I had a blast last week (last week of school). I came through on my promise to treat them to a day of Christmas craft. I invited my son's craft teacher to help me out; she is really talented and makes great stuff. And she got these amazing scratch boards (I didn't know about them, now I love it), for my students to create their own designs on their custom Christmas cards.

These are the items we started off with: blank cards (rectangular sheets of card stock folded in half), envelopes for the cards, shape templates, skewers, clear plastic bags and Scratch Art Rainbow Paper. We let half of the class decorate their envelopes with markers and colored pencils while we demonstrated how to trace around the shape cut-out with the skewers to reveal beautiful colors where every line would be. The students loved it! They are so creative, some used the shape cut out of the Christmas Angel or the Christmas Tree and some of the really artistic students didn't trace with the cut outs at all. Their art work were drawn free hand.

Each card was already prepared with a rectangular piece of scratch paper glued to the front. We used the black scratch paper with the neon colors underneath the black coat but it also comes in a white coat version as well.

After the cards were done, we put it one in clear plastic bags for the students to take home for Christmas. The students eagerly showed their cards to every teacher at school. I wish I could be there to see them show them off at home on Christmas Day!

Christmas Coloring Cards!

Anonymous — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 12:01:00 GMT

I Created these assorted Christmas Coloring Cards out of a need for something different. This Year, I wanted to include coupons in them and I also wanted the option of having both color and black and white versions. There are three main styles, the first would appeal to young boys. The second is girly! And the third style is unisex and for older children. The coupons are there as a way of personalizing each card by sharing a special message that can be pleasantly surprising! Suggestions are included. Also, there's a special bonus hidden inside as well! Do enjoy!

I made a photo album for each person and wrote why we loved that person, using the alphabet [...] Related posts:
