Art Projects

We do lots of art projects in our home!

Both girls absolutely love our art time.

Making animals out of egg cartons with John Wayne and Easton West.

These are really FUN!  Bats, caterpillars, ladybugs, spiders, puppy dogs, etc! 

Use googly eyes and pipe cleaners for antenae and legs. 

The kids have a blast creating and making their own unique!

I love not having cupboards above this space anymore. 

We do so many projects on this counter now.  Cooking too has been a lot  of fun when Silver can get up on the counter and be part of everything instead of on a chair. 

Here they used their imaginations and pulled the couch cushions off to pretend they were horses to ride!

Each had their own horse and saddle.  The saddles even had a secret compartment (between the pillows) to hide their treasures. 

River used her "magination" to make triangles out of straws. 

These couches have been so great. We make forts, canoes, mountains, slides, airplanes, rocks to jump accross the hot lava on, boats.......lots of fun adventures!

We love making messages for Daddy when he comes home. 

Bathtub crayons have been really fun!

Our Spring Creation!

Here we are making a volcano:

Mixing the dough

Building up the volcano around the bottle. 

Mommy was so busy with everything else, I didn't notice Silver got the red food coloring.

The volcano was lots of fun, bubbling out the top:  Baking soda, vinegar and dishsoap.

Getting messy is part of the FUN!

One of my fundamental beliefs is to let our kids explore, explore, explore without worrying too much about them getting good and dirty!  Sand, Mud and messes are like magnets!  Kids and clothes are washable.  And if the clothes get ruined, I buy them at the thrift store, so we're not out more than 50 cents per outfit.

Laughter, Adventure, Exploring, Fun....Love!
