This week my little artist and I made a simple landscape and used animal shaped sponges as stamps. My Little wasn’t too keen on the stamping so I did some of it for her– oh the minds of the young! She was more entertained this week by pre-soaking the paints in the water cup. Which is a pretty good idea if you’re using stamps.
This is where she decided she was done– but I’ll show you what the plan was originally! These little foam critters are the kind that come in the dissolvable capsules. Once they’re opened you can paint them and use them as a stamp
One thing to keep in mind with little ones is they may not want to finish the entire project and that’s totally fine! This time is about them exploring their creativity and imagination. No matter what you may want them to sit and do, you have to let their minds wander. This week felt like a failure on the Kids Corner side because she didn’t want to follow my plan, but instead she helped me practice patience and let her be a silly little girl. As I have mentioned before, these creative times are wonderful, special and the art they make will be a memory you can hold forever.
I am going to make an art book for her with all these projects that she can look back on when she’s older. It’ll be a sweet keepsake.
That’s all for this week! Be sure to check out Waves Of Expression, the other blogs and Brand Reps! They all have some amazing art and tips to share! 🙂
