Art Project: Drawing with Chalk on Sandpaper
Supplies:
chalk
sandpaper
Book:
Chalk / Thomson, Bill
Where I got the inspiration for this project: Kids Play Box
What Kids Do: Multiple chalks in one hand!
Hindsight Tip: This project didn't hold the attention of this age group (in my experience) for very long. Maybe it was just the mood that day, but there was only a bit of trying this one out before they were ready to run around. I'm beginning to wonder if I should just give everyone painted feet and let them paint the sidewalks this summer as they run around.....
Variations to try:
Sandpaper + stringSandpaper + crayons (makes a t-shirt iron-on! note: I'm pretty sure I've done this project in Toddler Art Class before, but I can't find a blog post about it...)
see also the Kids Play Box link above for even more ideas!
I was curious how much and where you purchased your sandpaper. I have always wanted to do this craft, but with over 50 children, I was worried about the cost. I'm hoping to have a good solution because this looks like a great art project.
ReplyDeleteI always try to get the "bulk packs" at the big box hardware stores. They're not SUPER cheap, but not prohibitively expensive. I also recently found smaller sheets of sandpaper (maybe 4-5" squares?) sold in a multi-pack at the dollar store, so check there too. Good luck!
