Last week I had 10 and 11 year old girls come to my house and decorate little pumpkins. We only have 1 hour to do these things. So how do you clean out a pumpkin and carve it in that space of time? You can't unless they are a lot older. Anyway, I just went into my studio and scrounged for materials to decorate. I have an abundance of sequins and beads left over from the prom dresses that I hand beaded and sequined for Gracie. So that's what we used. Oh, there were 2 girls that couldn't come-so I made a few. It was very very fun and they loved it. Then the highlight of the whole project was that they had to deliver them to a "lady in need" in our neighborhood to cheer her up. It's such a good project.
I hope you will all have a fun and safe night!
What a great project and they learned to give to others! What a great concept! Kids need to learn that every single day! Oh, I'll get off my soap box now! Sorry! Happy Halloween, Julie!
ReplyDeleteThanks! You know every time I do something like this with the girls I find myself having as much fun if not more. That's how I started doing mosaics. It was with this group last year.
