The other day, I ran into one of the Mental Health Doctors, who offered me a box of craft project kits from “Help Hospitalized Vets”. Of course, I jumped at the opportunity to get more stuff for my unit…but these projects have been a hit.
I picked up a Gallery Edition Acrylic Paint set. The idea is that the painter me…paints over the sketch that is already drawn on the canvas. Through the process of completing the project, I will learn the basics of painting with Acrylics. ‘ve always wanted to paint and now here is my chance.
And I’m not the only one. Several Soldier who have been in my office picked up a project–paint by numbers, pencil by numbers, and some of the other crafts that were there.
f you want your Soldier to take a break–give him/her something to completely take their mind away. Crafts can certainly do the trick.

Thank you! I never thought of sending a craft kit or anything in my care package. This is a wonderful idea! 🙂
