Ferndale DIY Street Fair - Arts and Scraps

I participated with Arts and Scraps in DIY (Do it Yourself) Street Fair in Ferndale on Sunday. I met with one of the Arts and Scraps representative, Julie. It was a wonderful experience. I helped children create headbands, pins, and paper hats out of recycled materials such as colorful paper, beads, glitter, yarn, and confetti materials. It was enjoyable to see children create thier own headbands. I also loved how parents participated with their children in making these unique art projects. I even wore my headband and pin, just so children can get an idea of what it would look like. (I didn't care if it looked ridiculous - haha) Sometimes with children you can afford to be silly and fun, just so that children can share in the joys of making their own art and being unique. Overall it was a great experience, and I look forward to working with the Arts and Scraps organization to perhaps assist in other family projects. I hope my future experience will entail a combination of projects, including any art therapy projects.
