We have been getting into "art pah-jects" at our house lately. I think AJ likes them because they involve the word "pah-ject", which he associates with tools. He is willing to go along with the idea that scissors are tools, so we do a lot of cutting things out of construction paper. It also doesn't hurt that I let him go nuts with the masking tape to get his pah-jects taped up on our sliding glass door.
We make whatever pops into my head from my elementary art class days. Lately it was spring-themed with a rainbow, umbrella, and kite. This is probably the wannabe teacher in me coming out. I think I would enjoy making classroom bulletin boards. I would suggest that I start a little cottage business making pre-assembled classroom bulletin board materials that teachers could order online and just staple up, but with the invention of the Internet, I am sure that someone is already doing it well and selling kits to teachers across America. Plus it is the kind of idea that would seem like fun in theory and then quickly become drudgery when it is time to cut 1,000 umbrellas out of construction paper.
Here is our display of our art pah-jects. Send in ideas for new ones--we are always looking for something fun to do.
