Wooden Toy Donations – Janet Gropp
Janet has been working with the The Colorado Woodworkers Guild who make wooden toys for the International Brotherhood of Real Bearded Santas. They donated over 200 in 2023 and hope to make many more in 2024. The toys are given to children in hospitals and other needy children in various locations. We did decide we would like to do this community service.
The toys were given to us ready to paint. There are no restrictions on painting so we can paint them with as much or as little detail as we want. As we get a batch of toys painted and sealed, we can turn them in and get more to paint. What a great way to share our gifts with those in need. Imagine how happy a hospitalized child would be to receive a handmade toy from Santa!!
Here are photos of the toys Becky Coffey painted. Feel free to use these ideas, in addition to your own, to paint the toys you picked up. If you haven’t picked up yours yet, they will be available at the Annual Meeting and Potluck on July 13th.
Mission Statement
“To inspire and nurture our members in all types of decorative painting (fine art, folk art, watercolor, mixed media, colored pencils, pastels, etc.) and to share ideas, develop skills and participate in a fun, supportive, and creative environment.”
