For The Kids!

[Rainbow.]

Here are two quick crafts that children love.
1. crayon over a sheet of paper in various colours until the whole page is finished, then paint over it with any type of non-toxic children's paint. When the paint has dried, use a coin or such other item to scrape out a design on the paper to reveal the rainbow of colours crayoned!!
2. With the same kind of paint mentioned above, apply different coloured paint blobs in the middle of a sheet of paper, then fold over then paper and spread the paint in a sweeping motion. When you open the paper out, you should have a beautiful butterfly shape!
This will kept the babes entertained for ages! (And the parents if your anything like me! )

Good ideas! I'm still not ready to let my kids just have paint (soooo messy). but they at least get to use watercolors

Lol. I love seeing messy children it shows they are having fun!
But it's not so much fun for those who have to clear up the mess! Ha ha

Here's a few more fun ideas for small kids. These are some that I've picked up through years of working in day care centers

If you have a toddler who can't handle a paint brush yet (or an older child who likes to get her hands messy ), here's a good way to entertain them. Take an old plastic tray and squirt out a pile of shaving cream. They LOVE the feel of it and they will smear it around the tray forever. If you have a little one who wants to taste everything they put their hands on, use cool whip instead (although this is MUCH stickier than shaving cream ).

Another idea for small kids who want to taste everything they get their hands on...instead of finger paint, give them yogurt. And for something fun, a little KoolAid powder to swirl around makes pretty colors. Not much 'painting' gets done, but, like the shaving cream, it's all about getting into your art

If you're worried about the mess, these crafts, and painting with paints as well, are really fun for kids to do outside in warm weather. Then just hose them down before they come in Doing it outside will make it that much more fun for them.

Love, Heather
