アート＆クラフトを作ろう：楽しいテーマとショー＆テルを使った簡単なプロジェクト

You’re invited to bring your craft supplies and create fun projects. We will explore an exciting theme each week! Here's a look at our routine:

1. Show & Tell: Bring something special to share with  your class friends. (3 minutes).

2. Project Reveal: Check our supplies and see a sample of our project. Gather ideas from our class friends on how you will make your own craft unique! (2 minutes).

3. Craft Time: Follow along step by step as week create our special art project. *See note below, please. (20 minutes).

4. Make it Special: Add your own ideas and special finishing touches. We may play a song or game for 2-3 minutes as needed to give everyone time to put those final embellishments on their art. Imagination and creativity are highly encouraged. (2-3 minutes).

5.  Sharing: Take turns sharing your wonderful creation and say goodbyes. (2 minutes).

Notes:
* I use a second camera to model making shapes and designs so everyone can follow along with a close up look.

* Parents may quietly assist off camera as needed. These projects will be simple and straight forward, but some younger learners may want a little help. Please take a moment to review the project list below, as well as the parental guidance section of this listing.

* Supplies will be simple and easy, and posted each week several days before class.  Feel free to make any substitutions you would like to make.

*Drop-ins and enrolled siblings are always welcome to join in the fun.
