Spotlighting yarn this month we wanted to know how yarn is made?
We found a cool link on Made How http://www.madehow.com/Volume-3/Yarn.html
where we got the scoop about how wool, silk, cotton, polyester and other fibers become yarn. It’s all In the twist!
This week during Girls Club Strong class the girls focused on bravery and the how’s and why’s of it then made these awesome arrows to remind them that they are already brave in lots of ways.

All hands on deck!
Birthday party guests make cardboard emoji necklaces. Now this is how we like to see kids using their hands- making, painting, building, exploring and discovering.
Save technology hands on use for another day.
Kids need time like THIS to decompress and express!
We had a great time with Daisy Troop 61024 who came to work on the Girl Scout creed-using their resources wisely.
They brought along empty Kleenex boxes that we converted into houses. This house has all the fixin’s including a tiny Styrofoam puppy who lives there.
Who needs flashy stuff when the imaginings you have come to life with the simplest of things.
We love boxes for so many reuses at the studio. In their original state they make great structural works or cut into pieces they can become just about anything else!
One of the wonderful things I note about time at CReATE is the organic connections that unfold with parents and children, grandparents and grandchildren, aunts and uncles and nieces and nephews, cousins and friends and caregivers and carekids and strangers too. Personal connections are the greatest need and core we all seek. Having time together to just BE is a magical thing.
When you can create anything why not create happy!
