The Hands On program was developed to assist both regular classroom
teachers and art teachers. Since so much of the curriculum is interdisciplinary,
we wanted to give you easy projects which could be adapted to classroom
use. We paid attention to cost and material selection in each project.
Most projects are well below $1.00 per student, with many less than
.25. The projects are also geared for easy substitutions or alternate
supplies.
Hands On is available free to all Public Television stations. Your
school district is welcome to tape the program for use by all of
the teachers in the district. The program is also available via
ETV. Many state curriculum buyers have added Hands On for the 2006-2008
school years. This provides direct broadcast into your classroom.
The Hands On books (for series 100 through 700) contain all the
project instructions from each series and are available via this
website. Special bulk orders are available via email. Selected projects
from the first seven series are also on the site. You will find
all of the projects from series 800, 900, 1000, and 1100 posted to the site in
the projects section. All projects are downloadable for your classroom
use. Information regarding video purchases for schools and education
is available at www.chiptaylor.com.
Please let us know if there is any way we can better serve your
needs, whether on the web site or on the television program or book.
Encouraging the creativity of all children is our primary goal and
we welcome your input. Send your email to info@craftsforkids.com. |
