ReplyDeletewe just love making anything. Half the time it is just paper with marks on it and things glued to it but Abi is so proud.
ReplyDeleteooooooh weeeee; would i love to win this one! i think its great to just let children "create" their own works of art using various materials; it also gives them a chance to tell their own story about what they made!!
ReplyDeletehope i win:)

My kids love the glue stick. Anything that requires using it they think is fantastic. I enjoy the fun of finger painting, not so much the cleanup!
ReplyDeleteheck yeah, i am a follower of this COOL site!!

ReplyDeleteLove the art kit!! We love doing large scale paintings outside where we can get messy and silly with giant brushes and rollers. Otherwise if were indoors we love collaging. There is something fun and therapeutic cutting and pasting!
ReplyDeleteWe do all kinds of stuff and the kids like it all. I love working with watercolors-they look so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThanks for more great information-this is wonderful.

ReplyDeleteI added your button a while ago -- does that count? Did I say how much I love the art kit :-)
ReplyDeleteFunny...my 18 month old just pointed at Katie from Katie's Nesting Spot and said Mama!
I'm also a follower!
ReplyDeleteWould love to win this! One of our favorite activities is making homemade "puffy paint" and watching the magic happen in the microwave!
ReplyDeleteHow fun Katie. Lots of good sites to look at. My favorite art activity to do with my kids is the good old water paints. I cover the table with a disposable table cloth, put on their smocks and we create. I recently went to a very fun art studio(you create your own art) in our town. A little pricey, but my son loved it and so did I.
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to let you know that I'm now a follower! Yeah!
ReplyDeleteWe always LOVE adding to our craft closet, what a nice kit! We Love free art where the kiddos can make whatever their hearts desire. Painting is a favorite way to do that!
ReplyDeleteOh, I just love this giveaway! My girls love to paint. They especially love to paint large clam shells. Since we live near the ocean, they are easy to find and plentiful in the summer. We bring them home, and I clean them and spray paint them white. The girls go crazy! I frame them in shadowboxes and proudly display them!
ReplyDeleteOf course I'm a follower! I love the links you posted today...great resources!

ReplyDeleteAdded ur button to my site!
ReplyDeleteAwesome prize! We like to make paper things around here, we once did an idea from a book drawing a shield and then using oil on the other side of the paper to give it a "stained glass" type effect and we hung it on the window. I still love that one that Kaiden did last fall! :)
ReplyDeleteStickers! Are those considered an art project? :)
ReplyDeleteWow, what a great give away!! We're just starting on crafts at 15 1/2 months, so HIS favorite is probably free form "drawing" with Melissa and Doug triangular crayons. He scribbles, then does the sign language for "bird" EVERY time. lol. I like to do collages with him.. cut a shape (like a clover), let him color it with a crayon, then help him glue on cutouts from magazines and stickers.
ReplyDeleteI'm a follower/subscriber.
ReplyDeleteI have your button on our site.
ReplyDeletewe have an ongoing collage box! my LO loves to collage!

ReplyDeleteQuick Question: Are you girls going to have a filebox/topic search option so that we can pull up all these ideas you're collaborating easily (i.e. if I'm doing a lesson on color, I can find/search the topic on you site and it will bring up all the posts about color). I am really impressed with this. Oh, and I'm a follower:)
ReplyDeleteMy 18month old and I love making our own playdough or pudding finger paint! She loves "cooking" and then getting to play with our "food" is a bonus!:)
