Paper…

​I’m just a paper person trying to get along…

This is a totally independent creation by Elika (4).

I love what happens when creativity flows freely. The possibilities are endless.

Still in town…

​Santa made one more stop in town today (hence the blur) to spend a little time creating today. Perhaps a stop at CReATE after Christmas is where Santa gets next year’s creativity  flowing…

Oh nuts!

​Well, how did we miss sharing this yummy mini quilt by Lucy (9) who designed it herself during our special Mini Quilt Project class a few weeks back. You might have guessed that she’s a fan of doughnuts.

Tis the season…

​Happy Everything from all of us at CReATE STUDIO! Best wishes for an abundant New Year!

Cool!

​The newspaper is top notch for staying informed and still so for all of its reuse abilities. Take these newspaper straws, just a quick roll up with a little tape and now we’ve got a whole new level of creative potential! We’re thinking they make a great material for a S.T.E.A.M. project for starters!

​Nice  work Lily…

We Always love a Gods Eye, especially when made with toothpicks.She was going for snowflakes and she did it! It’s fun to put a new twist on an old craft.

Noticing…

​We enjoyed a busy day with a field trip visit from CVUSD’s Winter campers, our 2 4 1 deal day creators and a sewing class too. 

In the bustle of it all I caught a glance of this little guy; a happy snowman made of unusual stuff but sweeter because of it. 

Material of the Week 12/19-12/25

Looking forward to what this reuse Material of the Week will become! Plastic Cutlery has endless possibilities!

Good Stuff!

​We’re super excited about phase two of our non-profit, @createonyourcampus program at Brookside Elementary School in Oak Park! 

5th graders are stewarding classroom collections of cast off items that will be reused as materials during lunchtime!

A Messy Morning…

​Foam dough was a hit this morning with the messy crew. Shaving cream and corn starch made a curious and satisfying combination  for endless playful exploring.
