Creative Kids

posted in kids |

As a mom, I know that if you give a kid a few basic items, they can create the most imaginative things. I also know that it’s best to let them use their imagination and that there is absolutely no such thing as a bad idea. When being creative, anything goes as long as there is no risk of injury.

With that being said, I wanted to show you a gift that my daughter received from a young man at her school, a 7th grader. They did attend 6th grade together, but she did not see him at all over the summer. When they both started middle school this year, he found her in the hallway and presented her with this gift.

You see, this particular boy enjoys working with duct tape, in all colors. He created this tri-fold wallet, completely from duct tape, with the exception of the plastic insert where my daughter now keeps her school i.d. card. Purple happens to be one of her favorite colors and this wallet is extremely durable so works well when stuck in her pocket.

I just love seeing what kids can do!

    That is very creative. I wonder if he could make them and have a parent sell them on etsy or ecrater? Awesome!

    Oy! My son came home from camp in August all fired up about making duct tape wallets. I had to buy four different colors of tape and he spent days making wallets for everyone. He even made a purse for his sister. The more he made, the better he became at the process.

    How sweet! It took a lot of time to make that wallet. I love the purple duct tape.

    My 11 year daughter made a duct tape wallet for the county fair and got 2nd place! I made and entered a duct tape purse, it was horrible and ended up looking like a little garbage can.
