Art Geo Board Research Paper

It is a wooden board with pegs you can string rubber bands around and fairly simple to make and cheap fun. I made this toy for under $12 in materials and completed in less than an hour. Everything was purchased from a dollar store and supervised by an adult.

I define art as anything created by someone that inspires another to appreciation.…
