Garden Book Bricks
Books that last! Transform bricks into fun garden decorations.
Transform ordinary bricks into charming outdoor ‘books’ with this creative painting project! Kids will use acrylic paint to design classic or custom titles to decorate their indoor or outdoor spaces. They will learn about the structure and parts of a book while making literary landscaping!
1 Your Guide
As a scientist, I LOVE exploring and learning through hands-on experimenting! Planting seeds and sprouts and watching them grow is one of my favourite things to do. I am an active learner and am currently participating in my MEd, my fourth university degree. I have worked with the Ontario Science Centre, Science North, and as a grade 7 and 8 classroom teacher for many years - all great places to try new things. I believe staying curious is the most important thing people can do!
I like taking pictures of plants, animals, water and sky, then use them to create fun works of art using glass, wood or paint!
