I'm needing art project ideas for a child that is blind. She has a very short attention span, so coloring inbetween glue lines isn't cutting it anymore. Anything would be appreciated. Thanks.

art projects for visually impaired children would be anything that is tactile...
create a picture by feeling... ie provide the child with lots of materials and get them to create a 'touch picture' it can be a pattern of materials glued down on a cardboard surface...
take a piece of hessian ( a very tactile material that the child can feel the weave of the material) and provide the child with a needle and thread... with hessian you can use a large darning needle that the child ca feel the eye of.. and substantial thread.. then the child can learn to embroider by touch... make pictures with the thread... Make one first for the child to feel so they know what can be done...
Vary the above task by providing them with all kinds of objects or take them on a tactile walk where they collect things in the playground that they find by touch... leaves from trees, sticks bark and other things and then they can sew these items onto the hessian to make a picture of the playground...
Use a non-toxic shaving cream for some excellent tactile play.... that washes away...
weaving paddle pop sticks into a basket...
take a large piece of cardboard and provide them with pv glue, sand, gravel, sticks, leaves, and other bits and pieces... then ask the child to feel a face with their hands... really notice the curves and contours... ask them to create a portrait of the face... they can do self portrait or a portrait of someone else... encourage them to use their fingertips to really see the face... encourage them touch softly and to feel the eye lashes and eye brows, lips, and chin.... every little detail of the face and then to recreate it using the tactile items you have provided...
Papier mache is an excellent art for a visually impaired person... there are millions of websites on this art... it is a very tactile exercise.... ask the child to feel a pet all over... and then use the pet as a model for the papier mache...
provide cut outs of various geometric shapes and ask the child to glue these onto a piece of paper or cardboard in a pattern or picture....
If you want more ideas send me an email or add me to your yahoo and we can discuss more ideas..

Check out this book: The Out of Sync Child Has Fun by Carol Stock Kranowitz. It has tons of information and suggestions of activities for children of all abilities. Anything you can do with textures is great... focus on her strengths, not her lack of vision. Making things with macaroni, beads, etc... anything that can be held and manipulated. I bet anything that your "typically developing" kids would enjoy would be great for her as well. You just have to modify the activity so that she can be successful too!

Allow for sensory exploration.
Put shaving cream down on the table and allow her to feel, smear, form, etc.
Molding things with clay.
Free drawing or painting to allow for imagination and freedom of expression.
Finger painting.
Here is a website with some project ideas for visually impaired students:

Tactile experiences such as
Sand art-----
Paper Mache' (millions of things to create) (Face masks are good!)
Finger paint with acrylics (with or without gloves)
Glue different textured fabrics to solid base figures: animals, trucks, flowers
"Frozen sculpture" made out of ice cream. (make it, then eat it)
Flour paste sculpture
Bead jewelry (big beads)
Weaving (belts, small rug, pot holder, basket, etc)
Abstract (large, as tall as the student) out of cardboard boxes and cardboard pieces that is free-standing.
LEGO Structure of some type (maybe something with wheels that will role and make noises)

you can drive to literacy.
I've been at a very interesting experience with the "living books" at the Feria del Libro (buenos aires), where actors have memorized some works (poetry, passages, anything with the strength enough to play), and interpret then to a group of blind people.

you will have to use items with texture....like cotton balls and pine cones and those spiky sweet gum tree things...try a pine cone bird feeder....you smear peanut butter all over the pine cone then you roll it in a plate of bird feed...then she can also listen to the beautiful birds that are feeding from what she made
