A Winter Art Idea
When Notgrass History gets together for our annual Christmas party, we divide into teams and create something very silly during a certain time limit, using stuff our fulfillment team uses to pack orders. This year we had a girls team and a boys team. Using cardboard, newsprint, scissors, tape, and a black marker, they turned Ray and me into snow people. Ta da!
When I saw this picture the other evening, I thought what a great homeschool activity this could inspire. It would be fun on a family night, too. This activity encourages creativity, resourcefulness, and working together as a team. Besides, it’s a barrel of laughs.
You could could gather a variety of supplies yourself or tell each child to bring one type of craft supply without telling them why you want it and see what happens. Last year we made gingerbread houses, and this year Ray and I became snow people. You and your family can let your imaginations run wild. Those of you who live where you never have snow could copy our idea of snow people for your children’s very first experience of making a snowman. Happy crafting!
A joyful heart is good medicine.
Proverbs 17:22
