Module E Integration-Crayola Creativity
In the Chapter 5 Integration Corner I discovered Crayola Creativity Central. The Crayola website has many creative activities for use by parents, teachers, and children. There is a Crayola for Educators link where you can search for lesson plans by keyword, grade, subject, theme, or product. Crayola provides multiple craft ideas on any subject. They provide a list and pictures to explain different art techniques to use with crayons, dough, and paints. And of course, crayola provides numerous coloring pages organized by subject that you can either print or color online. The color online feature allows you to choose if you want to color with a marker, crayon, colored pencil, or paint. It also has a card and certificate maker, online games, outdoor game ideas, and a calendar. You are able to click on a holiday on the calendar to discover coloring pages, crafts, ecards, and lesson plans that relate to the holiday. There is also a story studio where children can be the main character in the story and make choices in order to develop the story. They can print and color the pages upon completion of the story. Crayola also has a play zone with fun activities for the kids to spark their imagination. For example, they can create their own coloring pages by uploading photos. I found this website to be user friendly. You will find this website useful if you are looking for craft ideas to spark your child’s creativity.

Crayola has a wonderful website for all ages. I liked the idea of the story studio where the students could write themselves into the story. This is great for kids who don't like to write but whose interest might be piqued if it's about themselves. I liked the gizmo maker too. The kids really get to use their imagination in this whole section.
ReplyDeleteThe thing that I love about this website is that children can get creative and use their imagination.
ReplyDeleteI loved this site too. It really is a great site for encouraging creativity in children. It has something for everyone - teachers, parents, and children alike. I checked out the teacher lesson plans section, and it has some great ideas for art lessons. I also liked the story studio. That would be a great project for integrating art and language arts.

ReplyDeleteThis is a great website, I think that it is getting too much attention. It is good for elementary school age students though. It gives students a chance to show creativity. Kids get a chance to explore the diversity of their creation.

ReplyDeleteCrayola always has great stuff for students and educators. I especially like how handy the website actually is. For example, I can always instantly fall in love with a website that has a user friendly search engine. The activities on this website are colorful and fun as well.
ReplyDeleteI love doing arts and crafts with the kids and I did not even make it to this site because I was so caught up with the other ones. I think this site looks amazing and can definitely see why it got your attention.
