You may remember the "Design Your Own Dollhouse/Treehouse" camp that I had last summer. I knew from experience that the girls would L O V E this concept of getting their OWN house to paint on, glue on, put floors in, make appliances for, and soo much more.
But I had 5 boys register and was super excited (but slightly nervous) that they would get bored by this concept. I could not have been more WRONG! They loved it equally as much as the girls!
Some of the kids were focused on making their house perfectly realistic, with real tile floors (generously donated by Outer Banks Tile), subtle wall colors, creative but practical stoves/fridges/furniture, etc.
One little artist turned her playhouse into a horse stable and each room was a special room for her horses!
Another artist made incredibly bright living quarters for all of his lego people, complete with a deck addition, beds, and even a light fixture made from a playing card!
The innate creativity that kids can tap into when they have access to a LOT of cool supplies and are in a safe and non-judgemental art studio is absolutely A M A Z I N G to watch! The positive changes in their self-confidence are visible when we are fostering this sense of innate creativity.
