If I had this big shot, I would use it in my classroom to make Christmas tags. Making tags would help our group raise money to do other activities in the community. We would get the “tags” die and cut out several and decorate them. Although cutting is a great hand muscle builder, turning the big shot handle will still earn some strength. This will be the start of our year making tags. Throughout the year we will continue to make other items that will benefit our classroom.
