A here with another great DIY gift idea! This one is for the tea drinker in your life. You know, the one who likes to knit scarves by the fire surrounded by a harem of cats (just kidding, Goose). Anyway, this wreath is a festive way to keep those tea packets at the ready and not stashed away in the back of the pantry. To make it you'll need: 24 packets of tea 24 wooden clothespins A leftover box from a full-size frozen pizza Patterned papers A way of drawing/tracing circles Scissors Hot glue Paper glue (Elmers or Scotch archival glue work great) Ribbon I started by tracing the outside of a dinner plate onto the pizza box. I then measured how wide I wanted my wreath by laying one of the clothespins on the box with the "clip" part outside the outline and marking the back end of the clothespin. From there I figured how big the interior circle needed to be, marked the center, and used a compass to make the interior outline. Then, using household scissors, I cut out the ring of cardboard. Once you have the ring, it needs to be covered in paper. For this I laid the ring on the backside of a piece of 12x12 scrapbook paper and traced both the outer and inner ring. I then cut out the paper leaving approximately 1/2" of paper on either side of the outline. This 1/2" is then clipped into "fringe" so that it can wrap around the back of the cardboard ring. I then laid the cardboard ring on top of the paper ring and began gluing the fringe to the back of the cardboard using paper glue. The process looks something like this: Once I finished, it wasn't pretty on the backside, but the paper was securely attached: On the front however: So much prettier than a pizza box! The next step is to make the tiny paper strips that cover the clothespins. For this I used a rotary cutter, but scissors can work too if you're patient and want to measure it out. Each piece was measured to the exact width and length of the clothespins I was using. Please measure your clothespins to get the dimensions, as there might be slight differences depending on brand/style. Then the paper strips get glued to the back of each clothespin using paper glue. For the next step, you may want a ruler and calculator...or you can be impatient like me and just eyeball the placement of the clothespins on the wreath. Heat up your hot glue gun and get to work adhering the clothespins, making sure the clip part is facing to the outside of the wreath (this sounds like a no-brainer, but trust me, it's easy to get moving and not pay attention). Once you're done it's time to add ribbon or string/yarn of some sort to hang the wreath from. I folded my ribbon in half, slipped the folded end through the center of the wreath and pulled the two cut ends through the folded part so ribbon encircled the width of the wreath between two of the clothespins. That's a lot of words to say that it looks like this: Now for the fun part! Add your tea bags! I clip them from a corner so the wreath has a spiky shape, but have fun and experiment. The colors of the bags definitely make a difference, so play with that as well. The fun part is that every time you use up the bags, you can change the look of the wreath by changing the tea! If you decide to jump on this project, it's super cheap and fun. Let me know what yours looks like by posting a pic or two below. I think I'm off to have a cup of tea before bed ;)
Typically, when I spend the night at the house of local artist Rudy Fig I expect that there will be a lot of art making, snacking, and cuddling with her 17-month-old son Vincent. And while these things still happened, this time I went with a slight ulterior motive.“I have something to show you,” I tell her.“What is it?” she replies apprehensively.“Don’t worry, it isn’t dirty,” I laugh as I pull an unassuming book out of my bag. I give it to her and ask her to look through the artwork and the writing and tell me what she thinks. Because Rudy Fig is known well for fantasy artwork that is so sweet and tart that could rot the teeth right out of your head I figured it would be fascinating to see her perspective on a book of fairy tales that many have never heard of before. Many people don’t know that African-American fairy tales exist to begin with.Her Stories is a book of fairy tales, myths, and historical accounts with black women as the predominant cast of stories that have been retold by Virginia Hamilton.

Last year the cup stack was one of my FAVORITE team building activities (see post here). So, naturally, I wanted to give it another shot! The Cup Stack is a fun, yet challenging activity that promotes team work. The supplies are basic: cups, string, rubber bands. I go ahead and tie the string to the rubber bands so it is ready to go. I make a few for groups of 4 and a few for groups of 5, this way no matter what the numbers are in the classroom I can make it work. I start by asking students what teamwork is. What does it look like? sound like? feel like? We brainstorm a list of ideas that I hang in the classroom for students to refer to. Each class comes up with a variety of ideas, but they all center around the same theme. Then I introduce their challenge. I start off my admitting that this will be a frustrating activity. We discuss ways to handle our stress and feelings that arise when others make a mistake or don't do what we want them to do. I model that they will each be given 6 cups and a rubberband with strings attached to it. Their job is to stack the cups into a design by only holding onto their individual string. I demonstrate that when everyone pulls on their string the rubberband opens wider, and vice versa. I also show them the challenges of picking up a cup that has tipped on its side or fallen on the floor. No matter what happens, they must follow the one rule: YOU CAN ONLY TOUCH YOUR STRING. No touching the rubber band, no touching the cup, and no touching other group member's strings. I reinforce how communication is so important in order to reach the goal. Then I set them off. Here are some videos and pics. After about 10-15 minutes, we pause and reflect on our experiences. I ask them to rate their group on how well they worked together using the ideas we wrote at the beginning of the lesson. I ask them what went well for their group. I also ask them what didn't go well for their group. We talk about different strategies and ways we an handle ourselves when things don't go the way we want them to. Throughout the activity I walk around and facilitate positive communication, so I usually have a few examples to help springboard the discussion.
