September 18th, 2009 Two art activities Posted by Melitsa in Education, Homemade, play activities

I’m always so impressed with how creative people can be especially with kids work. I have a full feed reader of great blogs I read. It’s really uplifting to see how many people are creative with their children. Always a good tonic to a bad day- read your feed reader. Kids do some amazing things too.

My kids are all about art and I love to see them shine in this adaptable area. Here are two art activities we want to try this weekend.

Shopping list: Sandpaper & art masking tape.

Unplug your kids sandpaper art

We did try this last week. But we didn’t press hard enough for the image to come through. So we’re trying again. The boys are really excited to try again. We took ages choosing the ‘right’ sandpaper. (I think they just had fun feeling the paper) lol

Using a large sheet of paper and continuing a story will be something new for them to try. I think it would be great to have on their walls if they like it.

What play activities do you have planned this weekend?
