I am so excited to share that the kindergartners collaboration project with Mrs. Downing in STEAM class. This summer, I found the COOLEST tool that I instantly wanted to purchase for my own son. He loves to create things using recycled cardboard, so I was hooked when I saw a cardboard cutting table saw tool that is safe for kids to use. The CHOMPSAW  makes this dream a reality. Click on the link and take a look. It’s AMAZING!

During the fall season, I like to plan a sewing project to celebrate our learning about pumpkins. However, this year, I came across a really fun weaving activity that I knew we had to try! Weaving=excellent fine motor practice! First, students used pokey pins (more fine motor developing!) to poke the outline of a pumpkin onto a piece of cardboard. Then, they used the CHOMPSAW to cut out their pumpkin. Look at the focus involved!

The Chompsaw can be used by people of all ages. My sixth grader recently used the Chompsaw to create an Eiffel Tower using cardboard!

But back to the pumpkins. We then used this orange yarn and this green yarn for the pumpkin weaving project.

We practiced over and under!

Isn’t the final project so cute?

Mrs. Downing and I are already planning more Chompsaw creations….gingerbread houses, dinosaurs…the possibilities are endless!
