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. 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.. This provides direct broadcast into your classroom. All of the projects and instructions for every project are on the website including some videos... All projects are downloadable for your classroom use.
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.
