Art Time

The other night after dinner, the kids were needing something fun to do. What is more fun than an art project? You take glue and draw a picture on some paper. You then sprinkle some salt all over your glue and dump off the extra. We found the more salt you used, the better! Good thing it is cheap. You then dip your paintbrush in a mixture of food coloring and water and just barely touch it to the salt. The color takes off through the salt and has a tie dye effect. The pics came out so pretty! Pips ate more of her salt and glue than she should ended up painting, but she had fun. She would taste it and go "blech!" and make the most disgusted face. Stop eating it then baby girl! She also enjoyed painting the paper more than her design but that is what being creative is all about! This week, we will try puffy art! I have seen this project on Pinterest several times so don't know who the originator is. Either way, thanks for a great project for the kiddos! 

That was his machine. He later made a spaceship! 

Lots of salt!

Pips' masterpiece!

So pretty! His pocket on his shirt has an old cell phone and chap stick in it. Lol. Weird kid.
