This week I had my Little Artist create a Coral Reef! I let her loose with my whole Waves Of Expression collection and she had a blast! On some watercolor paper I drew fish, sharks, coral, and seaweed for her to fill in. After everything dried, I drew the outlines of the critters, cut them out, and taped them to some sticks to make a display with! She loves playing with the “Shish”. What a lovely addition to the kitchen table centerpiece! It’s great to watch the little ones discover how to use their art tools. At first, my little one was hesitant to dip the brush in water, she really wanted to just splash in the cup with her hands. Once I showed her how to dip the brush she took off and created her own masterpiece!
She was very careful about her paint placement. It seems like she planned every drop and stroke. Later on she went in with a finger painting style with the bright blue. That’s why we always wear old, stained clothes for arts and crafts!
As a mom who has a need for everything to be tidy and in its place, there is sometimes an internal struggle with keeping clean and letting her explore through making a mess.
Thank you for checking out my blog– be sure to take a peek at the store while you’re on the site! I can’t wait to see what everyone creates with these wonderful paints. You’ll cherish the memories and the art.
