One day at the farmers market there was a retired preschool teacher who had set up a children's arts/crafts booth. She had melted down an assortment of glass bottles for the kids to make into suncatchers. Each child picked a bottle. On one side they painted a masterpiece and on the other they glued colored tissue paper. She didn't even mind that they mixed the paints!
Even though the youngest didn't make a suncatcher (he just painted on a paper), by the time we left they all three had paint from head to toe! Creating AND mess-making...what more could a kid ask for?!
I hung them together on the back patio and now every time there is a breeze I can hear them clang together gently and it is one of the best wind chimes I have ever had. It was actually quite a lovely end to the week. Hope you all have a great weekend.
