Swap Box Project 1

Amid the Jumble

"Swap box, foreground, is underway"

I have being a lot of painting lately and thought I would add one more task to a busy schedule, i.e., add primary colours to my latest swap box project.

The idea behind a swap box: Children can place stuff - odds and ends, e.g., toys, books artwork - inside a swap box on their front lawn in the hope of encouraging others in the neighbourhood to 'make a trade'. It provides teachable moments about 'fair trading' from a parent's point of view, e.g., "Billy, if you like that toy you'll have to give up one of your own. What do you think would be a fair trade?"

Oh, and kids get it.
