Influenced by this post here (and found via The Crafty Crow) we made our own House of Cards. Working with what we had on hand, I cut cardstock into rectangles with six slits and let The Owl and The Tiger decorate them. Tiger scribbled on a few, but The Owl had a good time drawing on the cards. He wanted me to draw to, so I made silly drawings on some of the cards. It was actually a lot of fun, and reminded me of the quick 1-minute drawings I used to do in art school. Rather than working on one masterpiece, we were able to just have fun with silly quick doodles. My drawings are a bit embarrassing, and it made it clear how rusty my drawing is, but we had a good time. Process over product, right?
The Owl and I put it together- he need a little help from me. If I did it again, I'd use larger pieces of a heavier material, like in the inspiration post, and then maybe he'd have an easier time putting it together himself. He really loves to build, but gets frustrated easily if things fall apart.
