Mosaic Photo Frames

During Family Night @ the Library on Thursday, April 11th, the children and their parents made a mosaic photo frame. The children could choose a background (either black or white) and then the create their own design around the frame using the colored squares. Some of the children chose to apply the patterning skills they worked with during last week's Family Night - Playing with Patterns to create their design. Others made a design with some of their favorite colors. Mrs. Betts took pictures using her iPad and then printed directly from the iPad to the color printer in the library (she was giddy all evening because of the new app which allowed her to print from her iPad - Print N Share). The children had fun creating their photo frames and loved having their pictures taken with the finished product!

You can see more photos from this evening, go to the Kinkeade Library Instagram site, or the Kinkeade ECS Facebook page. I had to add a story to this blog post. One of my regular Family Night @ the Library friends was asked if he wanted to have his picture taken for the frame project while he was in the library looking for books to check out. He replied, "No, I want to check out my books first!" I was so happy by this comment, I had to take a picture of him getting his books checked out. It helps us to remember we have to take care of our priorities first. I am so please this friend has made books and reading a priority in his young life.
