Instructional Ideas

  • Provide directions in small, distinct steps and leave a pause between each step so kids can complete work
  • Be sure to discuss the tactile sensations they encounter during the art project
  • Have kids make additional bags and shirts to sell as a fund raiser
  • Stage an in-class t-shirt fashion show

 

 

Classroom Considerations

  • You can modify the activity to fit your unique pupils and the safety skill your class is studying
  • The resource is the 11th in a series of 32 art projects designed for the special education classroom but appropriate for all learners
  • The project requires good large and small motor skills and the handling of cutting tools

Pros

  • The packet includes a materials list, preparation instructions and directions, as well as options and photo models

Cons

  • None
