CHAP

Last Thursday I took the boys down to CHAP (Children's Healing Art Project). This place was amazing. Essentially it is a huge warehouse with ALL kinds of donated goods and art supplies. There was an old bathtub, a mattress, tons of clothes and rugs, a plastic driving car. The kids could use whatever supplies and do whatever they wanted. Such a little kid's dream to paint the table and the floor! Boston had a great time going back and forth from painting and using glitter glue and then he would just play with the furniture. And double lucky for us, it is blocks from my auntie Vicky's loft, better known as Dee Dee. Here are a few pictures I got of our day.

Boston is using the glitter glue and making a door for the castle, complete with pipe cleaners
More door work, we had to use nearly ALL the glitter glue. Check out the double fists squeeze
Cooper didn't dig into the paint but he loved to sit on the floor, bang on the projects and feel apart. There was so much at his level and I made him a little handle toy to bring home :)
More Cooper talking and waiting for Boston to come out of the house
The front door entry
Dee and Cooper
Boston painting the castle
Isn't this GREAT?!?
A HUGE felt banner that Cooper loved to sit and pick at. It stretched all the way to the floor so he could feel the shapes.
