Take a look at pictures from our first meeting!
Thursday, September 18th
1. Have your child find items that they would like to use to decorate their shoe. We have encouraged them to pick a theme. Get creative! For example,
- old discarded legos
- silk flowers and leaves
- random hardware pieces--washers, nails, bolts, etc
- water bottle/coke bottle labels/candy wrappers
- yarn pieces
- fabric pieces
Please send their items in a baggie. Keep in mind, we will have items that students can use as well.
2. Second, we will also have the students create posters and and create a short infomercial to advertise the event!
