Exploring and creating art. Using items around the house

  
Exploring/creating art-using items around the house.
This was so much fun, and very hands-on. My daughter really enjoyed the different textures and shapes.

Materials we used:
-Plastic fork
 -Paper towel roll
 -Flowers
 -Clothespins/with pom poms
-Plastic bottle top
-Straws
-Craft stick


 Explore and create art using different designs with each material.


 During our art time, I went over how each item created a different design.


Be creative and use your imagination!

  1. Great ideas. I particularly like the clothespins with the pompoms in them, that makes it easier for her to hold them and keeps her hands out of the paint too.

  2. The entire process sounds fun - from gathering supplies to painting and discovering the designs you can create from these findings. So creative. I also think the cotton ball clothespins are brilliant!

The Crazy Little Lovebirds Link Party 105

  Welcome to The Crazy Little Love Birds Link Party #105! This party offers a platform for sharing inspiring content, including recipes, family-friendly blog posts, crafts, home décor, and other uplifting ideas. Happy Friday! How is everyone doing? While I'm at it, how's the weather where you are? Our temperatures are starting to cool off; tomorrow, they say our high will be in the 60s.  We're still seeing a few hummingbirds at the feeder, and I recently made a ladybug house so that if any want a place to stay when the weather gets colder, they can move right in. I've never had one myself, but I did some research before building it. It's essentially a bug hotel. They have the cutest bee hotel at our local nature center, too. So it helped me with a few different ideas. I hope you are all doing well, and if I haven't told you lately, thank you so much for joining the party each week. I appreciate all of you! Now, onto the wonderful featured posts. Congratulations,...
