This year I taught basket-weaving again for our county's Christian Homeschool Co-Op, and today was the last day of the six-week program.
I actually taught two classes this year: one was for younger kids (ages 7-11), who made a Market Basket like the one we did last year, and the older kids' class (ages 12-17) made an Easter Basket using the pattern I wrote.
I am always amazed at how quickly kids learn, and I am so proud of them....their baskets look simply wonderful!
Take a look:
Aren't they gorgeous? I just love the different color combinations they came up with!
There were other classes offered as well, including public speaking, banking, detectives (where they learn how detectives go about solving murder cases), law, pets, perspective drawing, art for younger kids, and woodworking. The woodworking class made these super cute bird houses:
I know, right?? Awesome!
The people who put this program together give so much of their time and efforts to make this happen, and I feel so lucky to be a part of it!
The kids are a complete joy to work with...and a lot of fun!
A bunch of "basket cases".....just like me!
Ya just can't help but love 'em!
Here's hoping we can do it again next year!
The baskets are awesome! Give the teacher some credit too. And yes, those birdhouse are perfect. As a fellow basket case I can verify that a basket is never finished until you see if it "fits". ;)
