What to do with Art

Stuffed Toys from Kids Drawings

 

img_5151Awesome visual artist Anne Karsten helped her child’s school raise money by running a stuffed toy making workshop. Anne led the children through the design process, from studying commercially made stuffed animals through to final design, encouraging them to think about textures, shapes and colour. She then sewed the creations and sold them to the children’s parents.

While Anne is willing to sew your child’s fantasy stuffie for them (for a price), she includes directions on her blog on how to do it with your own child or with your own child’s class. We think this sounds like a really cool way to spend a couple afternoons with our bunch!
