Craft Inspired by HGTV's Color Splash

This is a craft inspired by the T.V. show Color Splash on HGTV. I was watching the show and David Bromstad was painting this number piece on wood. I thought, "We can do this."


We had some extra pieces of wood left over from one of my husband's projects and we painted on them with acrylic paints.

I told the kids to paint any letters or numbers and create a piece of art.

Excellent idea -- I love turning "trash" into treasure and occupying the kiddies at the same time. Just a heads up to moms who are looking for more natural alternatives...I just read a great article over at www.greenwala.com (an online green themed social network) that tells you how to make natural pigment watercolors that your children can use to paint with or dye homemade clay or dye fabric with. Seems like a fantastic multi-day project to occupy them during the summer months -- http://www.greenwala.com/community/blogs/all/1487-Paint-Your-Summertime-Blues-Away-With-Nature-s-Rainbow-Good-For-The-Young-At-Heart

Super Easy Volcanos

Image
I love this project it is so easy and only takes a short amount of prep time. Cheyanne loves making the volcano erupt. We used: plastic plate, plastic cup, aluminium foil, tape, vinegar, baking soda and red food coloring. Tape the bottom of the cup to the center of the plate. Cover with aluminium foil. Cut a hole in the center of the foil and push the edges down in the cup. Spoon in some baking soda. Pour in the vinegar. Watch it erupt.

Fall Toilet Paper Roll Tree

Image
This is a great craft for even young children. I think it turned out so cute. You will need: Red, yellow and orange paint, scissors, toilet paper roll, and green construction paper (or card stock). Cut the green paper into the shape of the tree top. Use fingerprints dipped in the paint as Fall leaves. Cut 2 slits down, across from each other on the toilet paper roll. Slide tree top into those slits.

Book Chain

Image
Scribbit's Winter Bazaar Rocks in My Dryers , Works For Me Wednesday When my daughter was learning to read, we started a book chain. Every time she read a book we added a link. She was so excited to see her chain grow. It eventually went around her room. She was always so proud. Colton is starting to read books, so we started his book chain today. He too was excited to add his links. I thought I would share this, maybe it will encourage you little ones to read. I am always looking for ways to encourage my kids to read, do you have any tips that you use? If so please let me know.
