Maybe you are a teacher planning projects for your class. Perhaps you are a pre school or daycare director and need to make sure the students have plenty of opportunity to learn, socialize, learn classroom structure, and feel special about their selves. It's a big order to fulfill the little ones needs.

Here are some ideas on how to use rolls of butcher, or Kraft paper to create some fun? Look at these ideas!

• Full body outlines. Have the child lie down on his back on the large sheet of paper. Use something to draw the outline around his body that will not stain his clothing. To add extra interest, have the children pose in different poses. Before you (adult) cut out the figure, allow the child to color and add facial features. Also you could supply other items such as yarn, buttons, tissue paper, or scrap fabric. These make good wall decorations. Also the figures help the child see how tall they really are.

• Welcome banner. Roll paper is an excellent way to make banners. It could be a welcome banner, holiday banner, for special events in the school year, or for ABC's, numbers, etc.

• Group murals. Several ideas for group murals are to paint the child's palm with tempera paint. Help the child place their hands flat on the paper, thereby making a print. Write their name by each set of prints. It is best to do this one at a time while children are occupied with free play.

• Use for easel paper. Children love to paint at easels. They should be given plenty of time to express themselves in freestyle painting. They can use paper up very quickly, so be sure to use roll paper to be able to offer plenty at an economical price.

• Cover tables and use for free drawing. When children arrive at varying times, some like to go to the play area and are very active. Some children need something that gives a more quite opportunity. Having some tables covered with roll paper will give them an opportunity to use washable markers, or crayons to draw.

• Collages. The individual expressions and creativity of collages make them one of my favorite activities. (Even now.) Save scraps of everything you make at school and at home. Using things like tissue paper, construction paper, magazine pictures, foil and colored foil, feathers, buttons, yarn, and whatever else you can think of will make a unique design each child that they will be proud of.

• Tree for the wall. Make a tree, using brown roll paper, and cutting out the trunk and branches. Use a brown marker or paint to outline and accent the trunk and limbs. Then use it to teach the seasons, and changes with a tree.

Whether you use these ideas or some of your own, it is a must to have plenty of roll paper. Reliable Paper can supply you with several styles, and sizes of this economical choice.
