I've also seen them do "stepping" stone tiles. Again, same concept: kids decorate their stones using mosaic pieces, colorful marbles and rocks, etc. Then each tile is individually auctioned or sold for about $25 to $30.<br><b>References : </b><br> Kids can decorate individual small tiles and then you can decorate (mosaic-like) a bench, patio table, etc. with them.

They are all fired and reassembled into the piece of art. It's really very cool and if the right piece of artwork were chosen, it could turn out awesome. Think Monet or Van Gogh! Another idea with tiles would be making sets of coasters, or with larger tiles they could make hotpads for putting on dining room tables under hot foods<br><b>References : </b><br> A white porch rocking chair for them to paint

A few years ago we made a diorama of our quiet area and adjacent playground. Each child made a model of themselves out of Model magic and painted to put in the diorama. Benches were made out of painted pegs and lollysticks and there was a central papier mache tree. Each part was quite obviously child made but the overall impact was more striking because it was a scene and because the place was special to them. With $100 you could use better quality materials.<br><b>References : </b><br> A diorama of a special place in the school? A few years ago we made a diorama of our quiet area and adjacent playground.

Be sure containers are heavy glass or plastic so there is no danger of breakage and injury. Take them to a park or botanical garden where you have previously arranged for them to "harvest' good smelling things. Dresing jars up with a ribbon is cool, too<br><b>References : </b><br> Jars of potpurri. Be sure containers are heavy glass or plastic so there is no danger of breakage and injury.

Each kid designs their own pocket, and adds a little item to go inside. Or even more brilliatly, christmas calendars. Parents will dote over what their little angel made at school, and the result can be incredibly cute.<br><b>References : </b><br> A wall hanging.

They dip the pine combs in peanut butter then rolled them in bird seeds and tied a ribbon on top so they could be hung from trees. We have two in the tree in front of our house and they work GREAT.<br><b>References : </b><br> may daughters class made pine comb bird feeders.
