I've been on a mission to find art class uses for the heavy, silver-toned ziplock bags I got at the last Raytheon W.A.S.T.E. give-away. The plastic is too difficult for preschoolers to cut with scissors. I think it makes lovely fish scales, though. My elementary students have been making metallic fish using a variety of materials. Some of the fish will be double-sided, and filled with a stuffing to make "puffy fish". Others will be used as collographs to make interesting texture prints.
Last week's egg carton tackle boxes were fabulous!! I especially liked how Jessi could tell me which one was the "float that keeps your hook from going away". You're the best art teacher, Nancy!!!
