So, I've been feeling like I should do more artsy stuff with my kids. I know how much they love it... but I often think in terms of messes, how to keep Tornado occupied, when to fit it in, the work to get prepared, etc..... but I have been thinking about them a lot lately, and what kind of memories I want them to have. It's been wonderful having them be outside for several hours a day, but that will soon be coming to a close! So I decided to start...
Fun Fridays.
We do fun things at random times... but I want to make sure we have it scheduled once a week, just in case! Now on Fridays, during Tornado's afternoon nap, we will do some sort of Art project. I found a great website called
Art Projects for Kids, where I found the idea for the "piece" the children did this week.

It's patterned after Demuth's "
Figure 5 in Gold" although they chose to use a letter instead. You can see how their interpretation kind of represents their little boy/girl personalities...
and best of all they had a great time!

So fun!
You are so great! I need to do more arts and crafts with my kids. They are always asking. Sorry about last Saturday Derric forgot we made plans with my family and then he was crazy with the kids because I was at the store and he said he totally spaced calling you guys to let you know we weren't coming. We are totally in next time though!
Ok, that's it. I've been thinking the same thing. I need to do more crafts with my kids. They're always begging me to paint and such, and I'm such a grouch about it, because it's so so so messy! Guess I'm gonna have to get out the newspaper and have some fun!
Looks like fun! You always come up with such fun ideas.
What an awesome mom. Does it count if my kids finger paint with their pudding during lunch? :)
I'm going to check out their website.
