If you have a Mr. Jamie . . .

Mr. Jamie is an asset to our program. His kind spirit and way with children is certainly important to our work, but so are his crafty skills. These are some of the wonderful things he has made to enhance our school, all from things leftover from other projects at our farm school. Thank you for all of your creative work, Jamie!

The tops of fence pickets became places to hang the kids' gardening tools.

Found wood became a wall/coyote fence? and a roof between our big trees in the play yard!


Plastic from a floor project, doors taken out of the school house, windows Jamie found near his home, and various other items became a greenhouse one afternoon.

Scrap plywood, paint, and a closet door became a play tunnel for the play yard.

A piece of scrap fence post and a piece of a 2 x 4 became a wiggle board.

Scrap wood became a balance beam (that adjust for a wide or narrow beam) and a "jump".
