hen Susan Goldman was furloughed from her job in the fashion industry, she saw the silver lining right away. “I was very lucky at the beginning of the pandemic not to work and to be able to focus all of that time on my daughter,” Goldman says. She and 6-yearold Jessie spent their days creating art projects in their Hoboken home. Goldman is creative and enthusiastic about the arts, so she and Jessie weren’t just making a mess with art supplies. “We did themes every day,” she says. “We did a Jackson Pollock day. Then, one day we did a crayon day.” Goldman found some ideas online to fit the theme. They melted down some of their used and broken Crayola crayons to make new multicolored crayons in fun shapes. “It was just an activity to do for the day,” Goldman says.
