Curls Comic

This past Saturday evening I was invited to take part in the sold-out US National Archives sleepover for a third time. Kids ages 8-12 along with their adult chaperones participated in several activities and spent the night next to America’s most important papers: the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights.

Local TV news channels DCW50 and WUSA9 covered the event. “Design Your Own Superhero” is the art activity I lead. We had a great time talking about different super powers and abilities.

I’ve heard a lot of positive reviews in the past when “What activity did you like the best?” feedback was received:

• making a superhero was my favorite activity

• the picture room with the comic books

• create your own superhero

• I really liked righting the letter to the president, and the super hero pictures

• create your own superhero because I got to be creative

• I liked creating my superhero because I want to be one
