Lookin' For Some Creativity

Unfortunately I'm not particularly creative or imaginative, and I want to make sure I give my children an opportunity to explore that side of life. E is still pretty young, so a lot of crafts and activities are out of the picture for now, but there is one thing we do enjoy doing...

Painting...
























































Sometimes the paint even ends up on the paper. We made a canvas for my dad for his birthday a few weeks back, so we thought we should do the same for my mom. I'm fairly confident that she doesn't read this blog, so at the risk of ruining her birthday present...

I'm so excited for the approach of Halloween. I have some fun art projects in mind already.

  1. What a cute idea! If you don't mind my asking, what kind of paint are you using? I would be afraid that C would just try to eat it.

    1. The first time I painted with him I made paint from flour, water, and food coloring. I found the recipe on Pinterest. This time I just used the nontoxic crayola finger paint. He did put his fingers in his mouth a couple of times...so I may go back to the flour and water paint for awhile...
