Activity of the day

Portable Easel

A unique project to inspire young minds.

What you’ll need:

• Two sturdy cardboard pieces

• A tool for making holes (like a screwdriver)

• Durable string or cord

• Your child's favorite art supplies

Step-by-step process:

1. Punch holes in each corner of the cardboard pieces.

2. Lace the string through the holes to bind the pieces in an adjustable easel format.

3. Attach a holder for art paper and organize a mini art station.

Pro tip:

Involve your child in every step, from assembling the easel to decorating it. Let them choose colors, add decorations, or even create a nameplate for their easel. It's all about making this space truly theirs.

Why we love this activity:

This DIY easel project is more than just an art activity; it's a chance to see your child take ownership of their creative space. Watch as they proudly set up their easel and delve into their art, be it in the living room, backyard, or even during a park visit.

Let's embrace this opportunity to foster creativity in a fun, hands-on way. It's time to create not just art, but also memories of joyful, shared experiences.

Here's to a day of artistic exploration and proud displays of your child's creativity!
