Through the unit Recycle, Reuse, and Renew: 3rd grade artists are learning to create functional items from reuseable household materials.  In their first lesson students created a handmade wallet from recycle magazine paper and duct tape.  We discussed the importance of measuring, folding, and craftsmanship.  The second lesson will teach the students to create a woven cloth from yarn, string, pipe cleaners, plastic baggies, sticks, lace, felt, etc.  By weving these patterns from a variety of materials, students will increase their dexterity and fine motor skils. What can you make from recycled materials?
