Affordable craft ideas for schools
Published:  17 November, 2009

Creating exciting craft based lesson plans that will grip pupils' attention, but won't blow the school's budget, is a major headache and challenge for most teachers. With this in mind, the latest catalogue from Baker Ross with over 2,500 affordable ideas will be a welcome resource.

With activities to suit most age groups and abilities, Baker Ross has many ideas to challenge the most creative children while staying within National Curriculum guidelines.

Design-a-Dreamcatcher will introduce Native American folk-lore, where it was believed that a dream-catcher traps the bad dreams, with only good dreams filtering through. This creative activity ties in perfectly with PSE discussions on race and culture. From just 52 pence each, the pre-hole punched centre piece, with lacing yarns and feathers, will allow children to personalise their very own dream-catcher, providing hours of educational fun.

Ideal for celebrating Chinese New Year, Christmas, Halloween or any occasion where decorations will enhance the theme, Chinese Paper Lanterns will create a stunning display to make every child proud of their classroom. From 96 pence each, the plain Chinese paper lanterns come flat-packed with a metal frame and hanging cord and can be decorated using acrylic paint, fibre pens, stickers, glitter and beads.

To start planning stimulating arts and crafts lessons to really stretch children's imaginations, call Baker Ross for a free catalogue on 0844 576 8933, email: enquiry@bakerross.co.uk or visit the website at www.bakerross.co.uk
