God's Eyes

Do you remember making God's eyes the kids had no idea what these were or what they were called but I remember making them in Sunday school years and years ago. They had a blast weaving with different colored yarn and we used coffee stirrer sticks.  This is good find motor skill practice to get the knots on the ends of the yarn.

Mermaid Making

We painted mermaids at Beth's 12 year birthday party.  It was so much fun each girl got really creative with the colors and the hair and they're all so unique I love them.

Cupcake Decorating

Here are the goodies we decorated our cupcakes with. I just put out trays of goodies and let the students help themselves.

Auction Art

Getting ready for the art auction at the end of the school year.  This is 4th grade, they each designed a cupcake.  Don't they look yummy.  This is one of my favs.

Be Sweet

Practicing my collage skills today. My neighbor gave me a bunch of scraps and I was so inspired. This might need to go up in my classroom to remind my younger students to be sweet and kind to each other.

God's Eyes

After school Programming this week was upper elementary and Jr. High.  I got out the coffee stirring sticks and the yarn, and they had a blast.  They mostly needed help tying yarn ends together and really enjoyed putting lots of different colors on their fiber craft.  Some of the kids ended up doing two or three of them in our hour-long session. I wanted to put them up in my classroom but they wanted to take them home and give them to somebody.

Forest Fundraiser

This was a fund raiser put on to send a group of teens to winter camp.  So we painted a forest scene in sunset.  This was the biggest group I have had so far, and it was a lot of fun, especially the teenaged boys.
