Art Project Ideas

There are many different things you can do with a person with IDD for an art project. If they like doing art you can incorporate many things they like and that are popular. There are different things based on the holiday or season that is near or just based on different movies they like.

One of the easiest art projects is painting. This can be done on any different surface or object. For example you can paint on pumpkins for October or on a canvas or paper. There are different things you can paint on the paper or canvas for the different seasons. You can also paint or draw any of their favorite characters from movies or TV shoes.

There is also crayon melting as a fun art project to do. You can make their names in the wax so it looks like there is a rainbow of drips around their name. You can also put pictures or other words on the paper to have the wax melt around it. To make this you hot glue crayons along the top or side of a paper or cardboard. Then you cut out the letter or shape you want and glue it on. After the glue is dry you tilt the card board so the crayons are pointing down and run a hair dryer over the crayons to melt it. This will create a dripped wax look and the shape or letters will still be visible.

You can make friendship bracelets or any type of jewelry. Friendship bracelets are the best things to make. This shows them you are their friends and it does make them super excited that you get to wear matching bracelets with you. All you need are beads and strings to make bracelets.

There are pots or statues you can paint and decorate as another art project that people tend to like to do. There are places like Potter’s Obsession where you can go to paint different pre made statues. They have all different kinds of statues and pots to choose from. There is also every different colors of paint to choose from. They put it in the kiln to make it shiny after you paint it and you can go back and pick it up.
