art project - sidewalk paint
I'll be honest - becoming a mom was not a natural transition for me. I struggled for a long time with my oldest daughter, trying to figure out who I was as a "mom" and how I could be the best mom to her (and now her little sister) when I felt like I had no idea what I was doing.
I don't even pretend to have this all figured out, but one thing I have learned about myself is that I'm good at creating art projects for my girls. Every morning my oldest wants to do "art projects" - I LOVE this! I've been following blogs such as The Crafty Crow, seeking out age appropriate projects for us to try together.
So I read a post over at ohdeedoh on how to make sidewalk chalk paint - perfect for both my little ones! So easy, inexpensive, and easy to wash out of everything (and believe me, it gets everywhere).
Here are a few photos from our painting session:
Love the red rain boots she insisted on, even when it's 1 MILLION degrees outside...
But she worked it!
Clearly we are nearing the end of our painting session, as the lovely shades of red, yellow, green and blue have now turned into a shade of milk chocolate...
My favorite coffee mug - and one fabulous art project!
This week I'm thinking butterflies out of tissue paper and pipe cleaners...
(I experimented with another vintage-like tint in the color photos. A bit more blue, less yellow. Any thoughts on it?)

love that miss c is SASSY in those red boots....girls are such trendsetters at that age!
great idea tho! and i do like the tint on the pics. gives them a more classic not -so -modern digital feel!
What a great idea. I also have a crafty one in my house! She'd love this! Have you ever done homemade playdough? I think that might be one of our projects after VBS ends.
Ummmmm, would you like a new mug? I have the same mug and I never use it (also one in brown). I know the ingredients are all "natural" but I'm not sure if I could look at your mug the same way again!!!! :>)
Very cute post. I love it when kids are into doing art - so cool!
