| Prep Time: Under 1 hour | |
| What you need: | |
| Crayon artwork
Lightcolored lamp shade White glue or a commercial brand of decoupage matte Paintbrush Craft wire Small toy | |
| Seasons: Year round | |
| Materials: paper, wire | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. | Have your child pick out her favorite coloring creations: monsters, people, a landscape -- you name it. Cut out the shapes and glue them to the outside of the shade. If the shapes are too large, you can take them to a local copy shop to have them resized on a color photocopier. |
| 2. | With a solution of three parts glue to one part water (or you can use a decoupage matte), paint over each of the cutouts on the shade, taking care to coat all the edges. Apply two or three coats, allowing the glue to dry between applications. |
| 3. | Use the craft wire to attach the small toy to the end of the pull chain. |
