Initial Manipulatives

We were fortunate to have access to some prepared materials from our Ab Ed Department.

Paper Spindle Whorls and paper pieces

were helpful during Covid as we didn't have to wash paper!

The Ab Ed department purchased these cutters to travel with the art. Washable and sturdy! They can be purchased for a reasonable price from..... Alison where did they come from!? These started out as playdough tools but soon were cutting potatoes for stamps and used as tracers.

This kit was prepared by the folks in our Ab Ed library to teach about Coast Salish art. It contains large felt circles and many of the shapes cut out in felt as well for students to explore.

Of course literature and art based cards.
