Art Club Activities

Turkey pins in process and waiting for the sealing medium.  Home made bubble wands out of telephone wire and bubble printing.  Messy but oh so fun!!!  This will make great gift wrap if we add a few snowflake stamps to the paper next week.

Now Presenting......Art Club

The inaugural meeting of the art club will be this Tuesday and I've spent a number of hours thinking about what that will look like.  I really want the art club to be about the interest of the kids so don't plan to spend a lot of time preparing lessons that need to be followed by rote. But for week one, I feel like I need something fun and engaging that students will be able to take home quickly.  A few years ago I made these really cute Turkey pins for a fund raiser.  They sold really well but the link was dead on Pinterest and I couldn't find the directions to share with my students.  I created my own and I'm sharing the hand out here for you to enjoy as well. All the circles are punched from scrap cardboard boxes.  I like to use the cardboard from Kureg cup type boxes, Kleenex, and cereal boxes.
