This past week Drew and I took part in a fun project. I signed Drew up to be part of a kids art swap. We were sent the names and addresses of 5 little boys from all over for Drew to send a piece of art to. These same little boys were also going to be sending him something. In this case the art in particular was an Artist Trading Card. A small piece the size of a baseball card that Drew decorated. It was so much fun to work with him and decide what he was going to do with his trading cards. We decided to do something different on each card which meant more work but really let Drew have fun and create. Here is a picture of him holding up his finished pieces. We put them all in the mail today. He was most excited about the one we were sending to New Zealand. I explained to him that New Zealand was all the way across the ocean which made it all the more interesting to him.
It was a great way for him to be crafty and also to connect with kids in other parts of the world. After the success of this first swap I think we will definitely participate in more. His world has been expanded just a little bit more I hope.
YAY! We need to do this again!
