Welcome back to school !!!! This is the time of year we used to jump into creative problem solving to help empower students to think "outside the box." Although our instruction was not exactly like the image manipulation here, this work is related to SCAMPER skills.
SCAMPER is an acronym that represents 12 ways to get to a more creative product. The letters stand for substitute, combine, adapt, adjust, modify, magnify, minify, put to other uses, elaborate, eliminate, reverse, and rearrange.

Put to other uses - The wax from the crayon can provide the fuel for the new wax-burning engine.
Elaborate - The crayon wrapper images have been added to decorate the bus body.

Rearrange - The wrapper images have been rearranged to fit into the door window of the bus.
SCAMPERing a bus seemed like a great way to commemorate the beginning of the 2015-2016 school year.
