I’m glad that so many young artists are getting outside and finding the beauty in nature. Our forests and mountains will help us through this! Please keep sharing your creative work!

Make your own CRAYONS!

Today’s #athomeart project was to make new crayons! The results were better than I expected (if I do say so myself) and who doesn’t want a set of #Lego crayons? This girl has been asking for new crayons, and since the nubbins abound, this seemed like an appropriate project.
