Artsy Smartsy

My favorite crafts that we do at story time and other programs involve free art.  I absolutely love to watch the kids get into the paint, glitter, etc. and see what they come up with.  The art projects that I always keep from my own children are inevitably the ones that are the least perfect.  The bear with an eye on his tummy, or the tree that is colored purple.  I'm always looking for new craft ideas for the library, but I think that the kids usually come up with the best ones on their own!
