We know these are challenging times for parents. Here is an idea to inspire creative play for you and your children.

Many items that typically end up in the trash can be upcycled into supplies for fun art projects.

It may feel a little overwhelming keeping a bunch of junk – but remember you can dispose of it all later when life calms down. Until then, and it will nice to have a bag of tricks.

Things to hold onto include:

• TP & paper towel rolls
• Egg cartons
• Corks
• Plastic bottle caps
• Paper boxes like cereal boxes and mac n cheese boxes
• Cardboard boxes (the bigger the better!)
• Yogurt cups
• Plastic bottles or jug
• Scissors and tape turn these items into instant art.

Today’s art challenge is to create a color wheel using found objects in your toy box and around your home.

A color wheel is a tool that shows us how colors are related. Artists use color wheels when they are thinking about mixing colors.

Color Wheel:

Find objects around your house that are these colors. Put them together in groups on a table or floor and make a giant color wheel where the Red pieces are between the purple and orange pieces and the yellow ones between the orange and green. Follow the wheel's colors until you have built a circle of color connected objects.
