Day 13: Hands on Play- Sticky Art

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy! -


Day 13: Sticky Art
This is an open-ended creative play challenge, involving just one key element- stickiness!

My daughter had a ball with some frosting painting and gluing.  I made frosting (just powder sugar and milk with a drop of food coloring for color) and she got to paint with it and then stick lots of fun random embellishments on to create a masterpiece.  

Titus watching his sister and eating and playing too!

Yep, she got in as many tastes as she could. 


 We also used ribbon, guitar picks, felt stars, cut up paper, and a wrapper from her pop tart (breakfast)! 



She created 3 faces...how cool!

Titus was in his high chair and he got to "paint" with his baby food.  A little peas and some beef n gravy and he was having a good time. 

Play a little, eat a little!

I am still cleaning up but it is all worth it.  The kids are all bathed and cleaned and taking a nap.  Now it is of to mop the kitchen floors...they needed it before we started so I figured lets go ahead and get messy and sticky!

Toddler Rainbow Craft for St. Patricks Day

St. Patrick's day is March 17th so its approaching quickly.  I have a few ideas on art and food projects that i want to do with the kiddos.  Hopefully I will have enough time to complete them and share them with you.   This was a super easy one for those little hands.  I cut the stripes of colored paper but if you are working with a preschooler or school aged child then they can practice cutting.  The two toddler boys here only had to glue the pieces on their piece of paper.  EASY, but they enjoyed it!  :)  It sure has brightened my kitchen with them hanging on the fridge!  :)   I also talked more about the Promise God gave us with the rainbow since I know that history a whole lot better then the history of the Irish Holiday!
