I'm a bit late on this post, but better late than never! Last week's art project was from a kit that Rebecca received in her Easter basket. It comes from the people who produce those fabulous Klutz kits. I grew up with them, and I am excited to share them with my own kids. Generally they are composed of an instructional booklet with lots of fun ideas as well as a handful of materials to get a person started. They make books about making paper airplanes, making princess tiaras, crocheting, etc. The kit that Rebecca received was for making paper flowers.
The idea is to load a pipe cleaner up with lots of beautiful paper petals, add a leaf or two, a bug sticker, and there you have it. No glue, no scissors, just an easy concept that young children can tackle with minimal assistance. (Elliot didn't really participate in this activity, though she did enjoy bending the pipe cleaners every which way.) We blew through the materials that came with the kit, so we ended up making a trip to Michael's to get some fancy paper, new pipe cleaners, and additional bug stickers. The flowers made nice Easter presents for grandparents, and they are lovely to look at.
We enjoyed making those paper flowers with you all. =)
ReplyDeleteI see that you have been faithful to your commitment of doing art with your girls! So wonderful to see the different art projects and the progress you are making, turning simple things into beautiful art work. You have truly been making better use of your talent and time in such a short amount of time than I have with mine in thrice as much time. Nice job!
