ideas for school project?

Q. So we have to make a toy for art class. but I don't really know what to make because i really have no talent in making things. so what some ideas of toys i could make for around ages 6-10 and that is pretty easy to make with around the house objects. and is pretty small. so it can fit in a Walmart bag or a zip-lock baggy.

Thanks :P


Answer
I volunteer with a lot of kids at my local science center and I know they really like the balloon cars. You need a piece of cardboard in the shape of a rectangle, a straw, some tape, 4 bottle lids, a balloon, some markers, and string. First glue the bottle lids to the cardboard like wheels, then decorate the cardboard however you want. Tape the straw to the bottom. Suspend the string between two chairs and pull it tight, but first run the string through the straw so the car will hang on it. Finally blow up the balloon and tape it to the top of the cardboard when you let the balloon go it flys across the string. Hope this helps.

school supplies (ridiculous don't u think)?

My daughter is going into 1st grade and the kids k-4 are NOT allowed backpacks with wheels. They also need baby wipes, camera's, tissues and paper towels. Along with ziplock bags. There are 33 kids in each class, how many of these items do they really use a year? How much do you think is left over?

Some teachers require the kids to have those fold up matts and they specify, "no roll up matts".

Why do teachers do this. are they trying to make it hard on parents. Now, I am not by any means disgracing teachers, but I want to know why all the crazy demands? Wouldn't it be better on the first day of school, to put all those wipes and stuff in a hat and let the kids draw? This way you don't get too much and the parents can save $$ without haveing to buy all of it. I know there is some left over in the closest.



Answer
Yes some teachers ask for a lot of stuff. Try buying for 5 kids from kindergarten to a Senior in High School. It isn't easy, but many of the office supply stores, Wal-mart, and Target have great sales for back to school. Some have limits on how many you can get like on paper. One store had loose leaf paper for 15 cents limit 5. So each child was given a $1 and 5 packs of paper, I did it, my mom did it, my sister, and husband. We got enough paper to last the year very cheap.

My sister is a teacher. I know she has asked for baby wipes in the past. This is to save trips to the restrooms to wash hands when working on a project. She has also asked for certain brands like for colors and markers. This is cause they work better on the paper they use and most the time last the entire year.

Many schools are banning backpacks with wheels because of injuries. They also damage the walls and floors. My middle schooler has to have a clear backpack - no wheels. This was not easy to find. But a little shopping around when out we found one.

You might think some things are silly on the list, but many times the teacher has found it comes in very handy.
