I've Been Framed!

Art- Collage/Word Art

No Sew T-Shirt Bag

Danny decided to try this with one of his old t-shirts.

Pick a shirt with a picture you like

Cut off the neckline and sleeves

Cut off the bottom hem, and cut a fringe along the bottom

Turn inside out and tie double knots in the fringe

Turn right side out, and you're done

Perfect for a gym or beach bag

Colour Fun

We've been having fun on Pinterest, looking at colours. I scroll through various colour palettes, and have the kids point at the ones that jump out at them, or appeal to them. They have to choose quickly, without taking time to think about it. I pin each one they choose on their Pinterest board. When we're finished pinning, we go through the colours they've chosen and see what colour patterns and preferences emerge.

Here's a sample picture and a link to each of our boards:
