Coffee Can Kid's Play



There is an adorable little cafe just 4 blocks from my cottage
it's called ...


Look at some of the cute coffee cans painted by kids
and filled with plants decorating the fence surrounding the cafe.





What a great project for kids and how proud they must be that
their art work can be enjoyed by everyone in the neighborhood!



I personally love painting cans.  It's become one of my latest
crafting passions!

It's a hot one here today ~ so I'm going to take it easy and visit


Even Bentley is feeling lazy in this heat!

Hugs,
Susan and Bentley

    This is an adorable idea! More places should do such things. It's good for the neighborhood, it's good for kids, it's recycling, there are just so many positives to something like this. I'm so glad to know about this place. Great post!

    What fun! Great idea for the kids for the summer. I could use a few cans painted by kid friends!

    What a great idea. I just throw my away. I will save them now and perhaps give this a try. The young folks did super job.

    I haven't painted cans. But these are beauties! Love it when someone takes an interest in kids' artwork. So encouraging for them.

    I am just loving the tour of blogland tonight! I am so excited to have time to visit some of my favorite blogs...they are all so inspiring and I am NEVER disappointed! I am lucky to see are inspirations that I would never have found had I not found each of the my friends that I see online! I wish I had more time to visit everyone more often...I sometimes think of my online family and miss them so! Thank you so much for sharing with me/us!
