Re: 6th Grader Alt-Process Recommendation

How about...chemigrams! Polli Marriner did a number of workshops with
children that age and younger and it looked like a lot of fun. There's no
doing it 'wrong', a relatively high wow factor, and it's relatively
non-toxic. You can even recycle fogged silver paper in the process.

Check out the first two links of this page for more about process:

Good luck!
