What do you make with the remainder of the paper?

There are a number of choices that I’ll share with you, however actually, the sky is the restrict when selecting your craft concept:

Choice 1:  In honor of the season, I’ve included a snowman, polar bear, and enjoyable snowflake icon on the maze template, in addition to one clean icon for the paper plate craft.  You may have college students use the glue stick to connect one of many icons within the middle of the maze.

Then, they might consider 3 issues that the icon wouldn’t wish to be close to and draw these 3 gadgets into the maze the place it is smart.  In my instance, I’ve chosen the snowman.  A snowman most likely wouldn’t be too keen on the solar, a imply canine, or a truck (particularly if it had a plow on the entrance).

College students can then use a finger to hint the correct path to maintain the snowman protected.

Choice 2:  Repeat the identical steps as Choice 1, however laminate the work earlier than attaching to the paper plate.

College students can then use a dry erase marker to do the mazes from their friends.

Choice 3:  As an alternative of creating the icon be the middle, you may connect a button magnet to the again of it.   Seize a popsicle stick and fix the matching button magnet (they need to pull in direction of each other when the poles are reverse).

The kid can then use the popsicle stick on the underside of the plate and the icon on the highest and discover the way in which by means of the maze that method.  This feature is a very cute craft with the paper plates that college students love as a result of all of them love the magnets!

Choice 4:  The final choice is customizing your mazes to your curriculum.  Perhaps have college students use the primary character of a narrative of the week or a person studying choice as the middle icon.

They might then attract 3 “obstacles” that the primary character faces within the story.

Label the title of the story on the again of the plate.  College students can take turns buying and selling their mazes and making an attempt to guess the e book title.

That is even an effective way to include a easy artwork mission for youths within the specials classroom too!
