Recycled Bottle Cap Art #junkplay

March 9, 2015 By Thaleia 2 Comments

We love recycling and we love art and we love to play with our recycled items. I was very excited to be apart of a super cool blog series called 60 Day Junk Play Challenge hosted by Best Toys for Toddlers. She has graciously invited other Kid Bloggers to each share a post focusing on 1 “junk” item. I choose recycled bottle caps because I knew that we had a huge amount saved from previous tot trays and busy bag activities.

Free Art Lesson Resources

Free Art Lesson Resources

I do not have an art degree and never took art classes beyond the required 8th grade art class. I even got a C in Art in Elementary because my teacher was looking for talent instead of grading on instruction and effort. This really left me with a negative view of art although I have always been very creative. I never learned about Famous Artists, Art Periods, Techniques, or all the fun that art truly can be! What could be better than free art lesson resources?

My children exhausted all the art dvd’s from our local library. It was very nice to set-up the laptop or tablet with a video, lay out all their materials , and let them be free to “have art class”. The only problem was they wouldn’t STOP after one lesson! Oh, no they wanted to finish the entire dvd! Since there is an interest in art I figured I better find more free resources to hone in and sharpen their talents in areas like shading, sketching, perspective, and proper use of materials.

You can learn about ART with a variety of free art lessons from all over the internet! You can learn from home. You can teach your children or you can facilitate a group of children or friend’s while you all take an art adventure together.

4th of July Baby Art

July 3, 2014 By Thaleia 1 Comment

Just woke up and remember the star shaped post-its I have and that this week is 4th of July. Then I thought the stars combined with finger-paint would make a great baby art piece! Super simple while the big kids are at Grandma’s house.

I cannot believe that Lil’ Red is 10 1/2 months and HAS NOT done ART! Yikes, that’s so hard to comprehend. I had Eldest and Princess painting at 6 months and Big Red at 8 months. Just goes to show what happens as you have more kids and get crazy busy.

Wacky Wednesday!

October 6, 2012 By Thaleia 1 Comment

Wacky Wednesday! Autumn Leaves

What is Wacky Wednesday? Last year we created WACKY WEDNESDAY to help us get over hump day and try to remember to do something fun and unusual on Wednesdays. Not every Wednesday is Wacky Wednesday, but we try to do something a little crazy or nature-oriented.

 

TODAY October 3- Princess and Lil’ Red went with me on a leaf hunt. We first stopped at Salvation Army Thrift store in hopes that the puppy rain boots for Princess would still be there. They were not:(

We headed to our local community college since I had noticed after class on Monday how beautiful the leaves were there compared to our house or around the block.

When I saw a super cute leaf art project on Crafty Crow that included a video tutorial; I was in!
