This is what happens when you have two dozen middle schoolers, happy attitudes, and some paint. Terrific art happens!
I needed a second small project to have enough to fill our allotted time, so I asked my brother about getting some little wood scraps to make little blocks they could paint to go along with their paintings. Of course he had wood scraps. But, he wondered why we wouldn't make something useful. If we drilled holes in the top, they'd be pencil holders. If we tacked a thin board on the bottom they'd be book ends. Brilliant!
**On a funny note, kids asked, "What are book ends?" Oh, my! I guess they can put their Kindles and iPads between them!!!

Their paints are priceless, of course. If you'd to purchase my example, send me a note.

How funny about "book ends"! That is a great idea for art. Was this a Bible school project?
ReplyDeleteIt was. I hope they got them home and got them put up on their own walls. :)
