We have a wonderful company in a local town to us that runs Button workshops in the holidays for the children. I thought I would treat everyone today and take them down for the morning.
They all get to choose a canvas with a template printed on it. Then they get to add the buttons that they want from a huge range of different shapes and colours!
NEXT STEPS:
- Buy some buttons and add them to the craft box at home.
- Ask the children to find some craft ideas that they would like to try.
CHARACTERISTICS OF EFFECTIVE LEARNING:
Active learning – motivationBeing involved and concentrating, Keeping trying, Enjoying achieving what they set out to do.
Creating and thinking critically – thinkingHaving their own ideas, Choosing ways to do things.
