Scrap wood takes on new meaning and charm when you decorate it to look like your favorite buildings! Students on a recent field trip to the Amasa Day House in Moodus added architectural details inspired by the white clapboard home to theirs. To join in the fun yourself, acquire small blocks of scrap wood (raid your scrap pile or cut pieces fresh!), and use markers, paint, and bits of things like ribbons or fabric to transform the wood into a tiny building. Think like a historic preservationist by noticing the little details that make your home special and incorporating them into your model!
