The creator of the snake asked me to link it back to them...this is where I found the image.
These are not my examples or my students work, but images I found on google when I typed in toilet paper roll art. I've always kind of dismissed it as a "crafty" thing...and not something for my serious art room. I think I've lightened up over the years. They are great bases for sooooooooo many project ideas!! Type it in and take a look...you'll see what I'm talking about! One of my 3rd grade teachers is having her ladies group at church save them for me. When I asked for water bottles last year, they collected 3 lawn/leaf 30+ gal. bags full! So I need to have several projects in mind!!!
Wow, so simple and yet so much fun! I followed the link and found so many ideas I can use with my students and best of all it's free and recycled! Thanks Mr.E!
ReplyDeletePat...I KNOW!!!! What a great way to get across the idea of sculpture/3-D to younger students!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the snake! Think I'll store the idea away...
ReplyDeleteI use a lot of TP rolls - especially for my teddy bear chairs, which are an annual event for 2nd graders who ride a ferry across Lake Champlain to visit the Vermont Teddy Bear Factory. But we've used them for other stuff too, and I cringed at those TV commercials about core-less toilet paper to save the environment. What would we elementary art teachers do if there were no cardboard rolls available to gather!?
Oooh the snake is my little snake!! I did it as a guest post for another site. Would love a mention and link back? Maggy from www.redtedart.com? Thank you! :-)
ReplyDeleteMaggy...I did not find it on your blog...so I linked it back to where I found it. It still credits you, but I could find it no where on the RedTed site.
