I gave him a tissue box that I had put wire through as a handle. Here is how he decorated it.

This was the tape to make sure my wire handles held up.

Tissue Box Easter Basket
Last month my not so artistic son told me he needed to make an Easter basket for a class project. His teacher was going to have all the kids bring in snacks to fill each others baskets. Such a cute idea but he was super stressed because he finds art very difficult and always has. This year his teacher has been great because she believes that a lot of fun has been taken out of the day to day schooling and taught her entire class to sew. They sow something every month. I will have to take a photo of the back of his door to post.

Hi Maria,
ReplyDeleteHe should be proud! What an excellent idea to MAKE rather than BUY. I'm glad he has a teacher who goes a bit "outside the box." Thanks for sharing today.
Have a Happy Blue Monday!
Thanks so much. He loved reading this. His teacher asked they make Easter baskets out of whatever, they could even use a basket but decorate it as an Easter basket. He was so happy to read your message.
DeleteHe did a great job! So cheery and the pom poms look like little Easter eggs! Give him a high five for me!
ReplyDeleteHe loved reading your message Sarah and when he was putting the poms on, I thought, wow he has a lot of poms on there but he was gluing away and I let it be.
DeleteHe has more artistic ability than you thought! ;)
ReplyDeleteLooking Forward to Your Visit at The Blue Door
I tell him all the time that art just is. Go for it and you will never be wrong.
DeleteWhat a great job! He has good reason to be proud!
