Catherine Romano blogs about crafty projects for kids and parents
This week, my plan was to create a little city. I love model cities (the Queens Museum of Art has a great model of New York designed by Robert Moses), and my son likes to imagine driving trains and buses through neighbourhoods, so I thought this would be a fun craft project. This is what we’ve made so far.
Materials:
- Recycled boxes from household products
- Construction paper
- White Glue
- Scissors
Process:
1. Collect recycled boxes from around the house.
2. Sketch out a general idea for your city (What kind of buildings will you include? Which box is best suited for each kind of building?)
3. Cover each box with a sheet of construction paper. Add decorative details such as windows, flowers, doors.
