We did several projects to include on our Beach Mural this summer. One of them was a simple color-me shell page. We both colored some of the shells to put up at the bottom of the ocean floor. Buga doesn’t always enjoy coloring – it’s not that she can’t do it, because she can – […]

A Haunted Halloween Project. Buga and I made this Haunted House project (Thanks, Mom!) as one of our Art projects. There were two sections to color – the top of the house and the bottom. Buga REALLY wanted us to color the house, together – which I try not to do because I like her […]

I made these wipeable coloring sheets by photocopying some of Buga’s favorite coloring book activities – I copied them at 60% so they would be more portable. I laminated each page, hole-punched it, and bound them together with a metal ring from Staples. We use Crayola Wipeable Crayons with it. I keep it in the […]

I found these at the craft store on Clearance for under $2.00.

We have been looking for another fun medium to use for art time. I came across these Dot Painters and thought they were a perfect solution! I read that they last a long time and work on an easel, too. She loved being able to explore another type of art and I love that it’s […]

We finally got an Easel!!! It is something I have wanted to get for some time… They had them at IKEA for $14.99 and I thought: “Even if this falls apart in a couple months…for $14.99 we should give it a try.” So we did. And so far, we LOVE it! Sturdier than I expected. […]

I have had this project in queue for quite some time now. Maybe I am a little obsessive compulsive, but I hate having so many broken crayon nubs around. And don’t get me started on all those crayons that Layla has decided to peel the paper away from – these poor, nameless crayons! Needless to […]
