Come young kids, let's create and make
With tools and shapes, let's try to take
Our ideas and turn them real
With different ways, we'll learn to feel

Some use a hammer, some use a knife
To carve and shape, and bring to life
A masterpiece that they have made
Their talent, skill, on display

Each artist has a different way
To use their tools and skills, they say
And though they may compete in art
They all have a place in our heart

So don't be afraid to try and melt
Your ideas, into something felt
Use your tools to carve and shape
A work of art, for us to take.
