The Block of Art committee hosted the last summer program at the Pottsville Free Public Library. We used a blank paint base (that was made from ingredients in your kitchen), let them use food coloring to create their own colors; they painted the blocks then pressed the blocks on cardstock to create their art. And while there were plenty of adults on hand, the kids figured out most of it on their own!
