Here is a simple and inexpensive project that'll take you less than one hour to complete. A simple wooded stool for children. We named it the
'Thinking Chair'.
Why that? I wanted the girls to have a special seat to use if and when they feel stifled either creatively or intellectually. I want them to have a place where they don't have to produce anything but simply watch their thoughts and just 'be.' The 'thinking chair' will also serve as a neutral seat for if they've acted inappropriately toward one other in that they learn that we all have feelings and we must consider them at all times. Now they can calmly sit and 'think' about whatever it is that they
need to ponder.
- 1 wooden stool (I got mine at Joann Fabrics)
- Acrylic paint (glossy)
- paint brushes
- alphabet stickers & decorative ones (I used tattoos for the decorative ones and they worked!)
- Mod Podge (Glossy)
Paint your stool (entirely). Wait ten minutes or so to dry. Place your stickers on the seat part.
Stick on all of your letters for your word(s)
Decorate with something you like. I used tattoos and they worked fine.
Paint a layer of glossy
Mod Podge on the seat after all stickers are placed.
A simple little fun seat...
