Deep…or NOT so Deep Thoughts & Opinions

Art Box

Published by admin under In The Begining on August 7, 2009

I am a very crafty person. By crafty I mean I enjoy creating things, not necessarily mean I am good at it. I think the crafting process is important. You are either following instructions or being creative, and both are equally important things to know how to do. I decided I was tired of trying to get into my junk drawer coming up empty handed because I couldn’t get through the pile of coloring books,crayons, or yarn and glue. I figured since I have a box each time I buy some diapers why not put it to good use, make it pretty, and something Vera would be able to identify as hers. I figured it would be a good craft for her to participate in too. During our staycation we did this craft together. The first thing I did in preparation was hang on to an old diaper box.

Not exactly the prettiest thing in the world, but it serves a purpose.Vera feels important for helping to create the thing that holds all her crayons and Dora the Explorer  coloring books. Dad even chipped in applying  his artist ablities to make this box special.

I even put my “mark” so to say on the dilapidated art box
I had a lot of fun doing this together as a family. I cut off the flaps on top of the diaper box before wrapping it in white construction paper. Then after we all decorated it, and very put the finishing touches on it(stickers) I went ahead and sealed the whole thing up with clear packaging tape! It was a fun and easy craft, and now every time I pull out the box so Vera can color she puffs out her chest in pride and declares that it’s “mine!Eva’s(yes…my child is already changing her name) Art Box?!”.
