why cricut in every school is a must!
What is the dream of a parent when they send their child to a school? It is not just to learn social skills, they biggest dream of a parent is that the child will be able to learn something that can later on help them to become independent and sustain themselves. Today, this dream is possible in every way imaginable. People are able to go beyond the general and traditional 'professional' job, do what they love and still are able to make a decent living out of it! With the boost in small businesses and handmade products, today's world seems something out of a fairytale.
That being as said, one can easily notice how crafting has now become a source of income for countless people. People make a living by selling scrapbooks, making and decorating gifts, envelopes, cards, bows, all of these things and more that were once considered as a hobby. Now that the world scenario has changed, it is necessary to step up the game and polish one's skills even further. And for kids that have a flair in the creative processes, this means learning how to use a Cricut, will nothing but advance their skill even further.
Since technology is all around us, inorder for an individual to move forward, it has become necessary to embrace it. And this exactly why i believe that every school, must have a cricut learning class along with their craft period.
Other than helping a child earn an extra skill how else can a school benefit from having a Cricut? Here are 5 ideas that can be used in schools to to make things out of cricut and have use for what is made out of it. And these are definitely going be absolute money savers!
1. Birthday cards.
In my school, during our craft period we were free to make any kind of birthday cards that we wanted. These were then handed over to the teacher in charge. The teacher collects all such handmade birthday cards and everyday during the morning assembly these cards were gifts to the children who had their birthday that day.
Since everyone loves making cards, there were lots of such cards and everyone at school for a little something beautiful and handmade for their birthday. It was such a beautiful gesture.
Now add in the skill of using a Cricut.
During the crafts period, the kids could be given a couple of print then cut cutout to embelish their cards. Or they could make the cricut draw in their card. Or write on it. Anything is possible. The kids will come to love making and embrace technology and new techniques.
2. Banners
Banners are something that are always necessary. Be it at school or for colleges. And every single time, this burden of making the banners fall on the person whom the class considers to be an artist. And this person takes the huge burden of getting everything done. The work is hectic. Now bring a Cricut into the scenario. Not only does this machine get the work done super fast, but it also gives a professional quality to it. Now that the huge load has been lifted off of the shoulders of the artist, they can now use the energy and time to work on making the design even more attractive!
Plus, with a Cricut there can be no mistake, so there will be little to no loss of material
3. Program Decors.
Other than banners cricut is absolutely beneficial in making program decors and this saves so much money and time when one has to stick to a theme. Cricut can help one make stand alone structures and other decor items simply with the help of a few YouTube videos! Other party/program items such as custom name tags, garlands, wall hanging decors can also be made super quick and in large quantities.
4. Prizes for competitions.
It is easy to make simple gifts such as cards, bookmarks, fridge magnets, hanging ornaments, 3d sculptures, stickers and such which can be added as a gift for any programs.
5. Organizers for classrooms and staffroom.
Cricut can cut almost anything. One of the features that i really love about cricut is how efficient it is in making organizers such as cardboard boxes, mini files, folders, labels. This becomes absolutely useful in classes and classrooms where there are always multiple projects, files, submissions going in and out.
6. Tools for Teaching.
Cricut as a tool for teaching cannot be stressed enough! Be it any age group or class, this cutting machine can not only take a huge load off of the teachers but also help in making learning fun! Imagine having cutouts of anatomy and asking the kids to place wherever each body part goes. Be it kg level or high school!
7. Skill development
With the upgrade in technology and it's mix in our society, being ready to test new waters has become essential for our living. Being introduced to learn a machine such as a cricut, which has multiple benefits will encourage the child to take new leaps and try new things. They will learn to embrace and inculcate new techniques and skills to reach a higher level of achievement.
These are just a few of the reasons why i believe every school or college must have a cricut. There sure are many other die cutting machines out there. But why do i talk about cricut being the one most needed? It is because compared to all the other die cutting machines out there, cricut not only seems to be the easiest and user friendly, it also has a huge array of potential! Not to forget the ultimate backing support of tutorials and classes and all kinds of resources that can find to master this gorgeous machine!
