Stick Art

Sticks! They are scattered in our yard, on the sidewalk and all over the park. At first glance, a stick doesn't look too special, but upon further examination, a stick can be pretty unique. And if you use your creativity and imagination, a stick can even have magical powers. This week, we collected some pretty ordinary sticks from the park and then transformed them into magical sticks with the help of some paint, glitter pens and fancy patterned tape. You can pretty much use any art supplies to make a magic stick, you just have to believe.

Empty Box Art

This weekend my daughter found an old gift box laying around the house and she had the idea to make it into art. So our challenge for the week began! We collected various supplies from around the house including other empty, dusty old boxes, tissue paper, stickers, markers, glue, buttons, etc. We embellished these forgotten items into very colorful, reinvented creations. I love this project because it shows that everything around us has the potential to be more beautiful, we just have to have the vision to create it.
