I am ashamed to say that we haven’t been doing many arts and crafts lately. Perhaps the fact that the Kraft Kitchen looks like a hurricane hit it? So I spent my Sunday cleaning and organizing our craft area, just in time for a Family Craft night!
Picking up on our Artistic Pursuits curriculum “The Way They See It”, we tackled the “Me Project”, where we make ourselves, using fabrics, buttons, yarn, etc… I decided to take advantage of this Lakeshore Learning People Shapes Project Kit I had lying around.
It was perfect! There are people shapes in a whopping 12 different shades of “People Colors”, so we really got to fine-tune the skin color to match ourselves. Which is cool, because our family does come in different shades of skin.
David, Satori, and I set upon designing our “Me” persons. We had so much fun customizing them, choosing our favorite colors and decorations. The hair in this kit was pretty cool, much more realistic than the yarn I was going to use. It even comes with googly eyes of different colors, not just black like you find in most kits. And just look at those cute little lips!
We made them into little puppets.
