This weekend the CareTeam had a glorious weekend in the sun at the DuSable Museum of African American History' 35th Annual Arts & Crafts Fair. The CareTeam runs the Make 'n' Take Booth and we were supported by some wonderful DuSable Museum volunteers. This year's theme was music although great food and fellowship were also mainstays of the day.We spent the afternoon making bean tambourines, jingle bell bookmarks and decorating music notes. There were stickers, markers and other goodies to decorate the back of a paper plate which was folded in half, stapled and filled with beans when the artwork was completed. There were some wonderful budding artists who returned several times to use up their creative juices!
The bookmarks had either a guitar or a microphone and we asked the students to color or draw their favorite singer or music artist. It was wonderful to see students choose themselves as their favorite singer! We asked each student who visited our booth to sign (or color) a music note to add to our bar clef.
Thanks to DuSable Musuem for letting the CareTeam spend a wonderful weekend with them working on crafts with local youth!
