April rain arts and crafts

A rainy day craft

April Showers

Well, it's Spring time! Too bad no one told the snow. Anywho, we like to list our favorite seasonal activities.  I made this fancy umbrella out of construction paper and my intern made the banner. The raindrops have their favorite activities in them. Too cute!

Fall window artwork

This is our on going project for fall.  We printed, colored and cut every leaf individually.  We drew the clouds freehand.

A co-worker found the scarecrow at the dollar store. She also made the tree and fence out of paper.

I found the idea for the owls on Pinterest.  They are simply made out of toilet paper rolls.

Everyone did such a great job, I am so proud!

Ziplock butterflies

Celebrating spring in our room.  They used noodles, beads and whatever else they could get their hands on.  They're a great addition to our room!

Slick shoes

Another fine example of why you shouldn't care what others think.  This guy, let's call him John, loves Elvis.  He came in today wearing new "blue suede shoes" and pink Elvis socks. Not only was I impressed by his awesome fashion but by the fact that he actually found blue suede shoes to buy! Keep rocking the flair, big guy.

Fashionistas

So many of us are constantly worried about how we look, what's fashionable and what other people think about us.

One of the best parts of my job is my consumer's fashion statements. One guy wears hot pink running shoes and thinks they're amazing and I get such a kick outta it. They are given the freedom to dress themselves and some times the outfits are...quite interesting.  This is a picture of a consumer wearing sweatpants, black socks and dress shoes. He was so proud of his outfit it melted my heart.

This is just another reason why I love my consumers

My new self portrait

One of my consumers brought in a Magnadoodle. I posed amd asked her to draw me.  It only took her 2 minutes.  Now that's talent!
