The supplies are listed in the supplies section by the week. It is important your child has all the supplies in order to have the most amazing time in class. *** Please note that this is a newly released book that you will want to pre-order or pre-purchase before class. Many students will have read the book before class begins. Although not required, please understand the many students that will have read the whole book will be ready to discus it all!!!*** Week 1: Create Snowfall out of salt dough. You will have to paint after class so the dough has time to dry. Week 2: Sketch Snowfall and a landscape. Week 3: Using Perler Beads, we will create Snowfall or your favorite dragon. This will require the use of a hot iron after class! Please have parental supervision. Week 4: Paint your favorite dragon on paper or canvas.
