Nana's art camp

Crocodile tears

Youngest Grandson is spending his spring break with us because his mom started a new job last week.  He's 12, loves arts and crafts, and is easy to please.  That's good because rain is forecasted for every day he'll be here.

I've had an art project each morning.  Today's went like this:  First, I taught him about idiomatic expressions. ("When we say, It's raining cats and dogs, do we really mean cats and dogs are falling out of the sky?")  Then I gave him a list of about 20 examples with the expression highlighted.  His task was to choose one, depict just the expression using torn tissue paper and a glue stick.  Then we shrank it down and turned it into a postcard to send to mom.
