Episode 112 - Extended Families
Segment #2 - Artist in You
Activity - Art Portfolio

LET'S GET STARTED:

Store "keepers" from your child's pile of artwork in snazzy portfolios that can be placed flat under beds or upright behind a dresser or bookshelf.   To make them yourself, find a sturdy corrugated square cardboard box approximately 20-inches x 20-inches. Cut-off the top and bottom.   Flatten the box along two of the side folds.   Cut the flattened box in half vertically using the other two side folds as a guide.   You will now have 2 portfolios.   Your child can paint the cardboard with poster paint, or cover with colorful self– adhesive backed paper or wallpaper. On the inside, tape a large mailing envelope to store small drawings.   For larger paintings tape a 6-inch x 20-inch strip of poster board on three sides near the centerfold to create a pocket.      Poke holes through the portfolio to attach a ribbon for closing.   Decorate the outside with a favorite painting or your child's picture.
