If you're focused on Primary School kids then you may have thought of tabards painted to support class learning. Like encouraging kids to paint numbers on themselves to make a numeracy lesson more exciting, or painting tabards with road signs and being a busy High Street. Swoping tabards and playing again helps young minds see the other side of things. A tabard painted with leaves helps in understanding what it's like to be a tree. Painting letters helps with literacy sessions and spelling simple words. And so on.

Koloron fabric comes on rolls of many different sizes. It also comes as ready-made garments in a variety of styles and sizes. So starting with a tabard means you're half way towards an exciting activity. There is a particularly wide tabard called a 'Flat' which makes other ideas work well. For example asking each child to paint houses. It's a fun thing to do and when six children hold hands you end up with a complete street. A row of animals from the zoo, a row of cars in a queue or a row of skeletons for the school play.

Dressing up is always fun and learning stays learnt when you are the number or the letter. Teachers and most parents know that play is important for children. But in recent years child psychologists such as Dorothy Einon and cognitive scientists like Howard Gardner have shown that play is more than important, it is essential. Without the experience of play children simply don't learn to deal with the world, they cannot develop into rounded adults.

One way of understanding the significance of play is to see it as children's work. This captures something of its value. But it is also children's culture. It is creative in itself and offers children the opportunity to be creative. Teachers and parents who encourage creative play are investing in the future. Knowledge is important but it is equally important to know how to apply knowledge creatively.

Being creative is essential in the modern world where change is the norm. Creativity is what Koloron is all about so it's worth having a few rolls to hand when one of a hundred ideas comes along.

Apart from being the best known Art Fabric in the world Koloron is also extremely responsible when it comes to green issues.

Koloron® is a durable sheet product made from pure 100% high-density polyethylene (HDPE). The sheet is formed firstly by spinning continuous strands of very fine interconnected fibres and then bonding them together with heat and pressure.
The result is a bright white sheet that combines a great surface for artists with high opacity and toughness.

Koloron combines the best properties of paper and fabric making it ideal for a wide range of creative activities. Koloron Art Fabric combines properties found in no other fabric and is an exciting addition to any artist's range of materials.

With skill and imagination creative people are generating remarkable work with Koloron.
Koloron can be chemically recycled with other polymers. In this process the original material is separated into it's chemical components that are then recovered for reuse.

Energy recovery when incinerated in excess oxygen yields only water and CO2, and whilst DuPont does not encourage landfill Koloron can, as a last resort, be safely disposed of in this way as it will not leach into ground water.

You can buy Koloron on Ebay as well.
