One of the unsung heroes of library programming is the paper plate. There about 101 different things you can use a stack of the good old 150 for: Carnival Game Fill it with beans, or other small loud objects, and staple them shut for a quick and easy tambourine. Sticky web Halloween craft Weaving crafts for the innies... ...or the outies. Masks of all sorts and shapes And I do mean all sorts Dream catcher for a Native American craft. Especially if you stick something cool in the middle. Sharp Scary Teeth: Good for sharks, monsters, vampires, and dinosaurs. Shadow Puppets Dinosaur costume: especially if you cut out spikes ahead of time to play a little game of herbivores vs. carnivores. Princess crowns Gift baskets Racetrack Teaching time Teaching about alternative energies like wind power with a pinwheel project. Balloon powered race car Stained glass artwork, also very good for showing off the cool veins in leaves for a scientific approach. And of course all the good old fashioned artsy crafty stuff too.
