Smart-Fab doesn’t rip or tear like paper! I hear cheering. Smart-Fab is easier to work with than fabric for arts and crafts in a classroom. Students can cut the Smart-Fab with their student scissors, but it does cut better the sharper the scissors. Smart-Fab is available in these 12″x 18″ sheets that we used, or a roll for larger decorative projects, which I may need to finish off my project. Smart-Fab doesn’t fray like fabric, so no hemming is required.
We were thrilled to receive the rainbow of colors in the package from Smart-Fab, and were SO tempted to tie a string around the middle of the entire package to make one big beautiful giant pompom to hang in the classroom. It would have been so pretty.
Hands-on concrete activities are used so much in the lower grade levels. After reading Pete the Cat, our kindies received a Smart-Fab t-shirt where addition and subtraction skills were practiced and reinforced. Now we can’t just do one activity, we have to tie in as many lessons into one as possible. Colors were practiced and reinforced by adding 2 yellow buttons, or subtracting one orange button and we couldn’t forget about the holes in the buttons! Although our main lesson was math, what teacher would take advantage of multiple concrete lessons in one?
We’re skirting Halloween with our Super Hero Masks!
Thanks to Google, we found easy black line masters of masks HERE. Then it was simply pin/cut.
The breath-ability of the Smart-Fab makes our super hero masks lightweight and cooler than a mask made from normal fabric, foam or plastic. After adding an elastic band, our masks are hands free and we don’t have a costume, only a super hero mask for our super hero themed party that just so happens to be scheduled for Oct 31, 2014. This is where rolls of Smart-Fab would come in handy to make CAPES!

I would use mart Fab for Halloween masks.

I would use Smart Fab on my bulletin boards as well as for craftivities with my students.
My Art teacher would love this! She meets with us to support our curriculum, therefore giving the students some fun hands on learning experiences!
We’d use these for holiday art projects!
Oh gosh, this would be great to us when the students make pictures of themselves! The colors look great and much better to use than regular construction paper!
I love smart fab for bulletin boards! Using it for crafts would be awesome.
I would love to use this on bulletin boards! I would probably make curtains for my windows as well so that when I show slides my students can see the image in perfect color.
Bulletin boards, classroom decorations, student projects….so many ways to use SmartFab!
My seniors will be acting out scenes from Beowulf, so this would be great for making costumes. I also see where we could use it for bulletin board displays.
I would use it with all sorts of reading projects, like a character quilt.
Bulletin boards for sure!
In my kindergarten classroom, we use lots of teacher made learning centers. I know the Smart Fab would be marvelous to make manipulatives and art projects that will stand the test of time and kinder-bear fingers and hands.
I would use them for art projects and up coming holiday projects ????
In my 4th grade classroom, I would use the fab for Daily 5 ELA and Math, Science, and Social Studies projects. That way they will last!
I would use the Smart Fab for craft projects with my firsties. We could make some nice gifts for Christmas. We could use the Smart Fab for puppets, bulletin board, and for costumes (1st grade play). There are so many different things you could do with the Smart Fab. Would love to have some for my firsties!
