We just made stripes on the paper and then cut them. I think we use 2 sheets for the larger base pieces. I would say we used 6-8 sheets total. I know we didn't use a full pack and I believe the full pack was 10-12 sheets.Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12944204657462978748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3120776759774073428.post-65860986918846483032014-04-23T11:15:29.645-05:002014-04-23T11:15:29.645-05:00How many sheets of paper did you use to make your ...How many sheets of paper did you use to make your sculpture?

I used whatever temp it said on the box of Shrinky Dink paper. I think this would be doable for a class that large in two class sessions. I would have them color the various pieces of shrinky dink in one class. Then I would bake them on my own. And have them hot glue their sculpture(s) together the next class. <br /><br />Do your kids sit in groups at tables? Maybe you could have each group do a group sculpture instead of the whole class doing one? Not sure if you let them use the glue gun? Do you have access to parent volunteers? one for each table or two? My girls art teacher does ask for volunteers sometimes when something is a little overwhelming for her to get done on her own during the class time. Maybe if you had parent volunteers too, you could take the kids in groups with you to the kitchen to watch them bake?? I did learn it was easier to bake the pieces individually so you could watch each one and pull it out at just the right time. I think it would be pretty overwhelming to have 20 kids all standing around the oven trying to get a peek.<br /><br />But overall, I think the project is doable just might work best in smaller groups. Good luck! :-)Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12944204657462978748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3120776759774073428.post-47734116790777229192014-03-16T20:55:25.235-05:002014-03-16T20:55:25.235-05:00Holly,

Is this process practical for 20 6th graders and one teacher? Will I be getting in over my head? The heating part is what I am concerned about. I could do it on my own but I would feel as if I am taking part of the fun away from the kids. Plus, the only access I have to an oven is in the school kitchen. Not sure how that would work. Any suggestions for doing this with a large group? oh, and what temp did you heat it? Thanks so much!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12269972818784963268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3120776759774073428.post-67775550260307655792014-02-24T12:32:06.378-06:002014-02-24T12:32:06.378-06:00Congrats!

In fact, I stood and watched them through the oven window. As soon as they started to curl, I took them out. I followed the directions on the shrinky dink paper box for the oven degrees. <br /><br />Good luck! I would love to see your results!
