Crazy Calico Bags
  •  LEVEL 2

    Materials:

    * Buttons, ribbons, animal noses, felt pieces

    * Fabric paint, puff paint, fabric markers, fabric crayons

    * Calico bags

    • Four equal sections were ruled and drawn onto the calico bags for the students.
    • Each section took a lesson or more to complete due to planning and sketch work.
    • Section 1: A fish or sea creature was painted using fabric paint. Puff paints and sew-on-eyes were used to create texture.
    • Section 2: Self portraits were drawn using fabric crayons. Children chose ribbons, buttons or flowers to decorate their work.
    • Section 3: Faces of animals were drawn with fabric markers and filled in using fabric paints. Animal snouts were added.
    • Section 4: Children chose to draw a rocket, spaceship, flower or butterfly or another picture of their choice using fabric crayons. These were embellished with felt pieces.
