Today at OSC, many of the kids participated in making duct tape wallets.  Though this is not a new activity, it seems to attract them every time.  We had a variety of colours for the kids to choose from, including neon’s like pink, green, and orange, and patterns like gummy bears, skateboards and tie-dye!  It was so interesting to see what the kids came up with.  I gave them some instruction as how to start off the shape using construction paper, but after that creative freedom was left to them.

We had a few traditional wallets, with a regular money slot and card slots, but then we had one wallet where the card slots went horizontal instead of vertical and left room for a “duct tape I.D.”!  There were also a few pouches made as well.  One was made specifically to hold the child’s wallet, and the other was going to be used to hold small stuff animals.  The one meant for stuffed animals even had a duct tape bow on it.  It was so neat to see the different personalities come through the children’s choices of colours, patterns and styles of wallets.  It was especially neat to ask what they would use them for (ex. the stuffed animals). Check below for some of the wallets that I thought really turned out.

Until next time!
