A Boy and His Plastic Canvas

I have never tried plastic canvas, but a few years ago H's grandmother gave me a trunk of craft suplies. Among many goodies was a plastic canvas cross. S decided to try his hand at a new craft and he recently finished his project.

I thought he did well for a first try. I also think plastic canvas may be a great craft for those without the patience, eyesight, or fine motor skills needed for more delicate handwork, such as embroidery or cross stitch.

Since the materials S used were ones we already had, this craft was totally free. And now he has a cute little cross, which he hung on his bedroom wall. Best of all, he has asked to work on more plastic canvas projects. I think Charlotte Mason would approve.
