Hello fellow coordinators,
School is right around the corner and for some of our children here at Lincoln Plaza, some have already returned back to school. So to end out the perfect summer vacation the children thought it would be neat to make their own puzzles. They also talked about how it would be nice to have a really cool cup or vase for their pens and pencils. Nice idea right! So I took the idea from my make up brush tins I have and put a little twist on things. Some of the children went nuts over the idea because one, it's a really nice pencil holder and two, it only makes it that much more special when you make your own personalized one.
I did all the spray painting and they did the decorating. If that's a craft you guys are wanting to do please and I repeat please do the spray painting overnight and outdoors to make sure the fumes are completely away from the children and they have time to dry. I took the jars home and made a mess on my lawn but it was totally worth it to see the smiles on their faces the next day. Final thought/tip...acrylic or some sort of paint sealer (use non smelling glitter sealer) works better than modge podge, I just used the modge podge to have the children glue on the glitter. Hope everyone enjoys the pictures below and have fun making your own.
