Jul. 6th, 2003 08:48 pmso anyways im a supie [playlot leader...think quasi camp councilor, im assigned a park for the summer, i get payed damned good cash, and i play with kids aged 4-12 from 9-12, and 1-4 monday through friday. its a great job.]
and even though i have recieved a craft mannual, i cant find a) projects where i wont have to buy more equipment than i already recieve from the city [haha! im a city employee *grins*] or b) that dont suck.
so im coming here because well, you people probably have better ideas than i do [they have to be simple, because i suck at all things crafty other than knitting, sewing, and doing uh small painting jobs involving finger paint]
materials i will have:
pipecleaners
googly eyes
feathers
construction paper
glue
paint [orange, green, and red]
really dumb beads that arent good for anything because they're smaller than seed beads.
paper plates [big and small]
paper bags
gimp [we're not supposed to make bracelets. why they give it to us then i dont know]
straws
popsicle sticks [not to be used for building houses. *snarls*]
styrofoam cups
string
embroydery floss
foamies [shapes made of foam]
woodies [shapes made of wood]
felt
im trying to stay away from my usual crafts which include paperplate masks, and paperbag puppets...
what's sad is this will be my 3rd year as a supie and i STILL cant come up with good ideas. but when half out craft mannual is bead buddy instructions, and yet they dont give us pony beads OR nylon string
any suggestions?
once i start fundraising i'll have some money to buy extra stuff, but untill i can..
i start work tomorrow. shoot me now. they stuck me in a park that has 12 year old boys with switchblades and rich bratty twerps who will make me want to claw my eyes out.
*whimpers*
but yeah. any help would be appreciated.
thanks.
