Pulitzer Arts Foundation
Earthways Green Homes Festival, Fall 2008
The Pulitzer and the Contemporary combined brainpower, manpower, and creative juices to produce a fun-filled craft booth at the Earthways Green Homes Festival on Saturday, September 27, 2008. The trick was to come up with crafts that fit Earthways' theme of recyclable materials but also aligned with the Pulitzer light project concept. All in all, a great success!
Fabulous Craft #1 was a crayon muffin. Mmm! Kids chose old bits of crayon and put them in a muffin tin. Then we melted the old crayons in a solar-powered oven, let the soupy crayons harden, and voila! Kids had new muffin-shaped crayon to take home with them! Kids also decorated planters made out of recycled cans and then planted a seeds inside. For the last project, kids constructed lanterns from recycled cardboard containers that came with a light cord set-up and bulb. Children of all ages thoroughly enjoyed our projects, and hopefully learned a little more about recycling in the process. Thanks to Earthways for inviting us to be a part of the Green Homes Festival!
