Class Experience

Learners will begin making beautiful creations using their imagination and patterns.  Fine motor skills, sorting, and patience will be focused on with this club.  During the first class, the teacher and student will discuss the importance of sorting and how to use the tweezers to pick up the beads and place them correctly on the pegboards.  During the next class, the teacher and students will take a step by step approach to each creation i.e. proper bead placement, errors, corrections, and how to save it in case you don't finish.   The students will ask questions along the way as needed.  The teacher will model how to do each step of the process.  Topics include tips on how to keep beads together, how to use all the materials, and how to keep safe using materials.  At the end of each class, the teacher will have instructions listed for parents to use an iron to melt the beads together as well as demonstrating how it is done.

I will be using the beads and boards from IKEA.  There is a link above to shop for them.  It is a very reasonable price.  Students will need a pair of tweezers, plates or bowls for sorting, masking tape, and an iron (used with parent approval only, can be done by parents)

External Resources

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

I love crafting and having hobbies.  It is a great brain break from the worries of life and gives a much needed surge of creativity that our brains long for.
