So guess what? I've got more big news. I'm going to be teaching 3 year old preschool! It's something I have always wanted to do... and when a job came up last week I took it. I will be teaching mornings at the preschool where my children went. My 3 year old niece will be in my class which will be especially fun. I've been working like crazy getting my room ready. I couldn't be happier. Don't worry, I will still be sharing all sorts of crafts and ideas.
I just love children's artwork. I can't bear to throw it away... and I'm glad I didn't. My girls are teenagers now, but they loved art when they were little. This cupcake picture is especially cute if you ask me.
I took it to the fed ex store and color copied it. I then modpodged it to the top of a paper mache box.
I made a smaller copy and used it as a card. The rest of the box got covered with scrapbook paper.
Shrink down your kid's art and make their little masterpieces into cards.
I made a handmade book to keep copies of their projects in when they were little. I keep it out on the coffee table and it still gets looked at over and over. So sweet.
Happy crafting!
The 3 year olds in your new class will be lucky to have such a creative teacher. Congrats on your new job!
