Pinterest can be used in the classroom to find many things not just art projects. It can be used to find lesson plans and stretch the limits on creativity for a child. It is a great way for students to look up projects that they can use in any class. Recipes for Family Consumer Sciences. Art projects for art. Science projects where they can learn to grow plants and such.
