Back to School Dumpling Squishy Craft
Bring the popular dumpling squishy trend into your classroom with an adorable All About Me Dumpling Craft that students will be excited to make and share! Students create a dumpling basket, choose dumplings that represent their favorite things, and assemble a personalized back-to-school craft that makes a fun classroom or hallway display.
With two complete craft versions and 75+ different dumpling choices, this resource gives you plenty of options for different ages, ability levels, schedules, and classroom needs. Keep it simple by giving everyone the same five dumplings, or let students choose the interests and activities that best represent them.
Version 1: A Simple Craft for the Whole Class
Every student receives the same five All About Me dumplings: Self-portrait, favorite color, favorite food, favorite ice cream, and favorite book
Students complete, color, cut, and glue the five dumplings into their baskets.
Version 2: Students Choose Their Own Dumplings
Students choose from 75+ different dumpling designs, with each dumpling featuring a different activity, interest, food, animal, sport, hobby, school item, or favorite thing.
Print the dumplings six to a page and cut them into individual squares. Place the choices in baskets, trays, or around a table so students can select the dumplings that best represent them. Students then color, cut, and glue their chosen dumplings into the basket craft. A self-portrait dumpling can also be provided to every student, although it is optional.
