Mrs Maker's Projects

Happy Holidays! I forgot to mail Christmas cards this year, so here is one via email and/or social media to all our friends and family! Why waist your money on buying printed cards, when you can ask your children to draw a unique design! You can teach your children to use Gimp (or other graphical design programmes) to make the layout for the card, too. Very useful project. 

My 4-year old son wanted to make some art, so I gave him an old scruffy shirt and a pair of scissors. With my guidance, he then carefully cut out the back piece of the shirt. Then I g ave my son a set of bullet tip fabric markers. He first wrote his name, then draw himself, mom , da d and his older brother .   He also draw our house with few windows , a door and steps upstairs, along with a slide and the sun and  some grass and flowers. Our 2012 season greetings cards – a reconstruction of the above painting – received a warm welcoming from family and friends.
