* I love crafting with the 'young' ones - it always is a pleasure as I soak up their enthusiasm with relish! Here is a young friend who made a tag for her special teacher!
I find offering them choices is the best way I can share this craft with them and hopefully encourage them to consider this hobby - you never know what 'seeds' are laid through these experiences, you might be responsible for the birth of a new stamper, lol!
So I will offer up suggestions but keeping them contained to just a few and add a very brief explanation describing the effects or the physical nature of the suggested products - this way the young person can make informed choices. First I recommend about 3 colours and then ask which one they'd like to choose.
Then we talk about the type of project: card, or tag {keep it simple!} and depending on the age, I will then decide how elaborate we will decorate the project. In this case, this young person has a lot of creative experience, so we are good to go!
We embossed, we smooched, we glittered, we punched, glued, pop-dotted our way around this tag! We even customized it by punching out the letters to spell the teacher's name - how cool is that! It took us about an hour but I could tell she was never bored :) In fact, I have sold her mother on one of the punches, which is arriving tomorrow and she will be on her way to making some more very cool projects - sweet!
Here's her result - awesome Carrie!
