On the first Saturday of every month, the boys head over to Home Depot for the morning. The store offers a three hour time slot for children and their parents to make wooden toys or other useful items from prepackaged kits. There is usually quite a turnout. It is fun to see kids of many ages hammering and painting to their hearts content. The children are given a work apron to take home and receive a pin for each project they complete. The woodworking session is free of charge.
This week Christopher made this art caddy for his sister Annie.
Annie likes to draw, color or paint while her brothers have their table time lessons. Christopher filled the art caddy with interesting things for Annie to use. He bought an eight pack of crayons, some tiny pads of paper and some stickers. Total cost: about $3! I know she will love it! :)
