My Grandma Terry (aka Theresa, Tre, Mag, Grandma Maggie, GiGi) is an amazing woman and recently turned 90 years old. 90! Even at 90, she is sharp as a tack, continues to cook the best spaghetti sauce in the world and watches every single Yankee game of the season. That's at least 180 games. Next weekend, my family is getting together to celebrate her birthday and we have been busy preparing for this special celebration. Today we did a simple art project that will become part of our gift to GiGi. We cut out the numbers 9 and 0 out of thick card stock and decorated the numbers to create a very festive 90. This idea works for any age - from 1 all the way up. You can make the numbers any size and decorate them with any art supplies you have handy. Will chose glitter pens and dot markers - his favorite medium at the moment :) and Elliott chose a combination of tissue paper squares, glitter pens and markers. She declared it a "mixed media!" The finished product can become a birthday card, a party decoration or even a photo prop. Hope you enjoy this challenge and are inspired to try it for the next birthday on your list.
