Scrappy Creatures...

 One of my very favorite adult art lessons to teach is
Scrappy Creatures.
What is so surprising is that so much cuteness comes out of
a wire hanger and plastic shopping bags. 
After learning this lesson I realized it would be an amazing
way to upcycle or recycle all those useless plastic bags that just get
used one time and then wind up in the oceans harming the sea life.

 
Plus I just love clearance sale stuff! I just keep buying it and
telling hubby "it's for my Scrappy Creatures". It really makes
my hordes of material and pompoms sound legitimate!

 This is Poosette, he found his forever home this summer.

 And this is Zooset.

 This is parent night at my school. We had a blast creating new creatures.





This is Farris who was a gift to the worlds best book binding teacher.











 This is my amazing class from the Center for the Arts in Manassas, Virginia at Windy Knoll Farms.
So so so cute!





This is Geffory, he went to his forever home last year.

This is Ms. Pauletta Peadmont, she also found her forever home last year.

Welcome to the world Delila!

5th Grade Stuffed Creatures As Drawn By Kindergarden...



 This could quite possibly be my favorite project ever!
The kindergarten classes drew some type of creature and then the
5th grade classes turned their drawings in to stuffed animals and gave them
to the child that drew it. At my school, Cedar Point Elementary the 5th graders each have
a kinder reading buddy so I tried to pair them up with there buddies.
There were lots and lots of smiles!

Pattern planning day!
























 When I saw the drawings for these two I was a little concerned 
the 5th graders in charge of creating them may have a difficult assignment on their hands.
But WoW was I impressed with the final results!






 



 There were hugs all around!

It feels good to give!
