for each of them, 2 pairs of scissors, and a stapler.
Students will cut their paper towel roll length wise down one side of it. So
that it could be a flat piece of cardboard.
Students will staple each end of the paper towel roll putting them back
together. After this they can stretch out the middle a little bit to make it
look more like a canoe.
Students will then one table at a time put away the scissors and stapler

and come grab a paper plate with paint on it, paint brushes, paper towels
and a water bucket from the teacher.
Once they are back to their desks they can paint their canoe however
they like.

large piece of construction paper on it to use as a place mat, a water
bucket and a bucket of clay tools.
One group at a time the students will go up to the teachers desk to get
one baseball sized ball of clay.
Once they are all back to their desks have the students drop their ball of
clay on to the desk a few times to workout any air bubbles in the clay.
