Welcome to the Budding Artists!
Let’s bloom and grow as artists alongside our kids.
This low-prep springtime painting activity uses the fun and simple technique of stamping with tinfoil.
This easy watercolor painting activity is simple enough that even little kids can do it, but the end result is lovely. The good news is there’s no wrong way to draw a cloud, so this takes away the perfectionist tendencies. Here we used the wax resist technique to draw clouds with a white or peach colored crayon and then painted over them with a color that represented the sky.
Use this simple process to turn a child’s artwork into a card that can be given to a loved one. This would be great to do for Mother’s Day, Grandparent’s Day, birthdays, or any other special occasion that requires a sentimental gift.
The idea behind this card is that you can use it to gift a small piece of artwork to a loved one. We attach the art in such a way that it can later be removed, if desired, and kept without the card.
This simple painting activity becomes a lovely card that would be great to use for Mother’s Day, Grandparents Day, birthdays, or any other special occasion. It’s a simple as downloading the template and getting out the washable tempera paint.
This card uses the technique described in the Tinfoil Painting post.
Making beaded bracelets (and necklaces) is a great handicraft activity for kids (and adults). The finished product can be gifted to loved ones, shared with friends, or just enjoyed as a colorful accessory.
But stringing beads can be difficult for kids who haven't yet mastered some of those necessary fine motor skills. We’ve come up with a way to help the littlest of crafters join in the fun and make handmade beaded bracelets.
This 3D paper rainbow is the perfect craft to get kids excited about spring. It’s fun for kids to work on, doesn’t require many materials, and the final product looks lovely.
Art supplies are the number one gift you can give to kids. Not only are they fun for the kids, but they’re beneficial and often lead to time away from screens and more time connected to friends and family.
In this video we review many different types and brands of crayons showing you their pros and cons to help you decide which kind(s) of crayons to invest in for your child’s art center.
