About a month ago Jack brought a sandwich wrapper to school and while I was waiting for him to finish his lunch his teacher, Ms. Riley, said what a good idea it was and that maybe they could make some as a class project.
An idea was born! I was off to the fabric store to buy oil cloth and cotton duck. Using the wrapper we had as a pattern I cut out 32 stop sign shapes; sewed them together; and voila--the wrappers were born.
Two days ago I went to Jack's class armed with the wrappers and crayons ready for the class to give them their special touches. Some drew pictures of their families, one drew an awesome dinosaur, and all were very original.
This is the front and back of the wrapper.

I had planned to take pictures of the finished wrappers but the kids did them all at different times and when they were done they busied themselves with all sorts of activities in the classroom.
Here are pictures of Jackie and Jack decorating their wrappers.
Now Jack's class can go off to kindergarten and help the earth be a little greener and a little more beautiful with their artwork.
