Crafts: John and Pat's domain

As I wrote before Spring Break, several links have been placed under "US activities," for arts and crafts. The first link gives you six options. Please click on provided link which will give you a picture of the craft, materials required and instructions on how to make each:

1. Japan: Origami Butterfly - http://familyfun.go.com/crafts/foreign-affairs-709367/2/ 2. Moroccan Castanets - http://familyfun.go.com/crafts/foreign-affairs-709367/3/ 3. NORWAY: Cork Trolls - http://familyfun.go.com/crafts/foreign-affairs-709367/4/ 4, GERMANY: Edelweiss Hat - http://familyfun.go.com/crafts/foreign-affairs-709367/5/ 5. MEXICO: Ristra - http://familyfun.go.com/crafts/foreign-affairs-709367/6/ 6. ITALY: Gondola - http://familyfun.go.com/crafts/foreign-affairs-709367/7/

The second link has a much larger variety that are equally useful. For example, there is a sleu of items for each on the examples. The number in parenteses indicates how many crafts are in each page.

7. Asian (22) - http://www.makingfriends.com/asian_crafts.htm 8. Jewish (21+) - http://www.makingfriends.com/jewish_crafts.htm 9. Native American (25) - http://www.makingfriends.com/native_american_crafts.htm 10. Other World crafts including: - http://www.makingfriends.com/world.htm • Africa • Asia • Australia • Canada • England • France • Germany • Haiti • Ireland • India • Israel • Italy • Madagascar • Mexico • Native American • South Africa • South Pacific • Spain

The next 3 links are items that Aline found and so I invite you to peruse them as well.

I intend on having three stations to suit as many tastes as possible. I suggest that you have more than one project prepared as well. For me, making crafts is like using technology in the classroom... "but it worked at home!" If you think you might have fun making it, chances are they will too.

DEADLINE FOR YOU TO GIVE ME YOUR ITEMS AND THE MATERIAL YOU NEED FOR YOUR CRAFTS IS THURSDAY. NO GOOD WILL COME OF IF I RECEIVE THEM ON FRIDAY.

Here are a few links that you can check out. Deadline for choices in __**APRIL 1ST,**__ NOT APRIL 2nd.

1) __[]__ - All of these activities on this link are quite simple and so my suggestion is to have a variety of these activities available with instructions already printed out. We have a 75 minute period so it probably behooves (I just love that word) us to have more of these crafts available than finishing with a ton of time left. The only craft I request that you do not do is the Origami Butterfly as Dr. F is doing a similar project; unless of course he would like you to do so. PLEASE CREATE AT HOME WHAT YOU WILL DO WITH YOUR CLASS.

2) __@http://www.makingfriends.com/world.htm__ - This web site offers more than just crafts; there are world food items and clothing. I suggest that the food items not require any cooking.

3) I spoke with Bisa about some African goodies so I will post them ASAIC (As soon as I can).

4) Below is some cool stuff that Aline found. Thank you ADLT :) This is THE DISCOVERY MAGAZINE; they have Chinese, Spanish, French, and German crafts.
