Cardboard Creations

What do you do with a whole bunch of cardboard boxes from all the food we eat?



You start to cut them up...and glue them together...


A Cardboard Creature emerges...A Lucky Ladybug!
This is an example for a project I will be doing with some of my 3rd grade classes as part of my Reuse-Recycle-Recreate unit. When I was gathering up ideas for this unit I came across some great projects done by other wonderful art teachers around the world. This project is inspired by Katie Gonzalez from Briargrove Elementary. Here's a link to her blog http://katieweymouth.blogspot.com/2010/01/cardboard-animal-creations.html She has a lot of great ideas!

Stay tune for more Reuse-Recycle-Recreate projects!

  1. I just discovered your blog! Anyhow, if you are into using cereal boxes (I am) check out the artist Michael Albert and his collages he calls "cerealism". I posted about it here: http://plbrown.blogspot.com/search/label/cerealism
