Monsters, Googly Eyes and Inspiration

Monster Arilla by Eden

I absolutely love doing art with children.  When my daughter was young I did summer art camps and taught after school art lessons.  It was a way to earn some money and make sure she was getting all the creative indoctrination possible. 

Nowadays, there's a boys and girls club after school program at our church where I facilitate an art or craft time each week.  It can get a little crazy because of the wide age range and the come and go structure.  Last week, we did paper bag puppets.  My projects don't always go as planned.  A lot of times it goes far better.  For instance, the monster pictured above was made instead of the traditional paper bag puppet.  I would love to have such confident abandon with materials....no worrying about too many googly eyes! 

Here's my pinterest board for project ideas.  Please let me know if you have a board for that too.  I'm always on the lookout for ideas.
