Let’s Think On Our Feet

One of the greatest challenges for educators is finding creative ways to teach. Since kids love to learn when it’s fun, just imagine how much fun they will have when they create their own project and then wear it away!

I remember when I was a kid, when I got home from school, my dad always asked, “What did you learn today?” When your child comes home to their Zimby Designable Boots, what they learned at school that day can turn into a fun project, fit for show and tell the next day. Here are a few ways to use unique boot designs as fun and educational projects:

  1. Let’s say the science lesson of the day was animals. Say, “You have two boots, can you name two animals?” Not only will they have fun painting their two animals on their boots, but the lesson is reinforced every time they look down. And how cool is that when they can show their classmates what they learned on their own feet with these unique boot designs? 
  2. Or, maybe the lesson is mathematics. One boot plus one boot is two boots, “Let’s paint the numbers on your boots!” 
  3. How about colors? “How many colors can you name? Let’s paint a rainbow on your boots.” 
  4. “Can you name two letters of the alphabet? Let’s paint the letters on your boots.” 
  5. “In the daytime, what do you see in the sky? The sun. At night time what do you see? The moon. Let’s paint a sun on one boot and a moon on the other!” 
  6. Basic shapes can become tall buildings, rocketships, robots and street signs. “Let’s start with a rectangle and then put a triangle on top. What does that look like to you?”

Every time they look down, they will be filled with pride and remember how much fun it was to paint their very own boot designs, while all the time re-enforcing the lessons they have learned. Using My Design Magical Paints and Magic Eraser, every lesson learned can become a new work of art, a new pair of boots and a fun way to remember!
