In my last post, you can see that now we have a place to hang artwork, etc. That space has always been used to do just that…now it just looks a little more organized and deliberate.
About a year ago, the boys made these long banners and we had them up til we tired of them.
That one was a dinosaur scene and they also did a desert scene. I can not wait for summer to start because I am going to get them busy on a an ocean scene…I will let them decide (of course) but it would be really cool to include a beach at one end and the ocean going out from there. My oldest is totally fascinated with ocean-life right now.
Supplies needed go something like this: markers, crayons, long strip of paper (we have a roll of paper that came with an art kit but scotch tape and construction paper will do), stencils, stickers, free on-line coloring pages (here and here are some sites I have used). It is usually a messy, creative process but well worth the mess. My boys always do a little “research” when doing a project like this and they also have to be artsy so in my estimation it time/energy well spent.
Oh, and since several of you wished me well on my accounting final…I am glad to report that I got an A. I logged in last night for one last time to see that the grades were in! I was taking the class in an effort to better understand the accounting process…and I do believe that I accomplished just that.
