Make & Take Monday

Each Monday I will post a simple activity or material you can make for your classroom. Most projects will use everyday items that are easily found at home, school, or out in the community. I hope you enjoy Make & Take Monday.

Block People

Take a full length photograph of each of your students. Print on cardstock or heavy weight paper. You want the photo to be about the isze of a 4 x 6 photo. Once printed cut the photo out (you can cut straight lines or curved lines around the photo - you want the photo intact, so do not cut exactly on the photo).
Secure photo using clear packing tape to:
1) PVC pipes (cut into 6" pieces),
2) paper towel rolls (cut into 6" pieces), or
3) wooden cyclinder blocks.
You can also take the laminated photo and place in it a binder clip so the clip stands on its base.

Viola! Instant block people. You will be amazed how the children will enjoy playing with their new "block" friends.
