The End of a Fun Week

This week has been fun! I've been following the kids and their interests for the most part. In addition to huge amounts of time spent outside, we've been doing a few fun art projects.

One project we did was tissue paper stains. For this one, the kids sprayed paper with water. After it was thoroughly wet (some might even call it soaked....), they cut up pieces of tissue paper all over it. We let it dry for a day, and then took the tissue paper off. The tissue paper stained the white paper and left behind a collage of colored shapes. The process was a ton of fun for the kids! They were so excited to take the tissue paper off and see what was left behind.


Another project we did was shaving cream marbled paintings. I'll let Maddie and Hannah show you what we did!

We put stripes of paint on top of some smooth shaving cream.
 We put the paper on top of our painted shaving cream and rubbed the top to get the paint to stick.
Then we pulled it up and scraped off the extra shaving cream.

The end results are really cool! Here are a few:





This was a super, super messy art project. Every kiddo chose to do this one though, so I think that makes it a hit!

Have a fantastic weekend!
