Picture tracing

People in Nicaragua are very resourceful. They find ways to use things we would normally throw away and use them in creative ways.

Our girls (and lots of other kids too) copy the pages in their coloring books. They use carbon copies and trace the pictures in the coloring books, never actually coloring in the book, but making as many copies as they want onto regular paper and coloring them there. It lets them color the pictures over and over and makes it so that you don't have to rip out the pages to give them away or hang them up. . . I don't know I thought it was a pretty cool idea when I first found out about it.
