Hi All!

I am planning to help one of my children's classrooms at school create a work of art for the school auction this year. My strength is sewing... not the ideas!

Generally the projects include the kids in the creation. One year I gave all of the kids a bag of fabric each cut from a single block. I had them make tangrams (as they were doing those in class), then I appliqued them onto denim blocks and created floor pillows with their picture and embroidered each of their names next to the block.
I think these auctioned for $80.

Does anybody have other ideas that could be used for a class project creation? I want the kids to have some ownership. My sons class is Kindergarten and my Daughters class is 3rd grade.

The more original and useful, the more money it raises for the school!
