Our Educational Paper Craft Packs are a unique resource that can be used by children and adults to make a photographic record of an outing or an occasion, cards, home decor or a gift.  They include step-by-step instructions and importantly include notes of suggested curriculum-linked discussion points and suitable website addresses.  These notes give the educator the confidence to know that the points they discuss with the children will naturally enhance their understanding of subjects they will be covering at school.

Educational Paper Craft Packs can be used by a parent with a child in the home or as part of a crafting workshop in the community for small groups of children and/or adults over a period of weeks and in schools.  Workshops can be delivered by an organisation’s chosen educator or by a Live & Learn Consultant, tailored to meet the needs of the participants and any specific time constraints.

The packs contain a mixture of cardstock, patterned paper, 3D embellishments, stickers, tags, ribbon and adhesive.  We have included step-by-step instructions in each pack of how to make scrapbook pages.  There are two sizes of packs in our range: 12 x 12” (30.5 x 30.5cm) and 8 x 8” (20.3 x 20.3cm).  Please see the individual products for full details of the
resources supplied.

The key features of Educational Paper Craft Packs include:
 
•   a comprehensive pack of resources to enable an educator and child to make paper craft projects together
•   the resources for a project to be made that naturally links to Literacy, Mathematics and Art and Design
•   additional curriculum-linked discussion points and website addresses 
 

The key benefits include:

•   encouraging an educator and child to spend time together, communicate and have fun
•   each project that is made naturally links to Literacy, Mathematics and Art and Design.  Through an educator working with a child to make a project the child will be using key speaking and listening skills and they may write captions and understand how to communicate to a reader.  The physical assembly of a project provides a real opportunity to use and apply number, shape, space and measure.  The child will be exploring visual and tactile elements, including those of colour, pattern and texture, line and tone, form and space
•   enhancing a child’s understanding of subjects they are covering at school
