Are your students tired of coloring? Although I love using articulation and language craft projects my kids do get tired of coloring. I try to keep the excitement up by changing it up. I recently decided to use water colors to make a flower pot craft. We practiced the targets on each flower and then painted it. The next session we practiced again as we cut them out and assembled the pots. My kids loved painting and had a beautiful project to take home.
I also like to use dot art markers for other craft projects. They were a perfect way to complete an Easter egg project this year.
Simply changing the crayons can be fun. I found these scented silly crayons that my kids love. I call them my "special" crayons and they ask for them all the time now. Markers are always a big hit too. Small stickers are another way that I decorate craft projects.
Sometimes I like to use color paper and just assemble it. My Unicorn characters look get without any additional coloring.
The next time you decide to use a craft project in therapy try using a different medium other than crayons.
Here is Freebie from my store that you can try out. Decorate the gumballs with dot markers, paint, markers or "special" crayons. This freebie targets past tense verbs. I hope your kids love doing it as much as mine do.
