We love our fans and want to pay it forward

We contacted companies and people we know and have secured some wonderful prizes for the GRAND PRIZE for all of you. In addition to that there's all the prizes available in the blog hop, so start hopping on to the next blog using the links below!


Thank you to my sponsor Artistic Pursuits for sending me a copy of this wonderful curriculum and to the winner of this giveaway.

What is Artistic Pursuits:
"The ARTistic Pursuits approach to teaching art is a welcome departure from typical art instruction books. This award winning homeschool art program meets the specific needs of homeschoolers at home. A variety of fun art lessons teach both the expressive and technical aspects of art while allowing children to make choices about what and how they will draw, paint, and sculpt."

Artistic Pursuits also has age appropriate books for preK-Sr. High!  I received the Preschool book and I think as my kids get older I will want the other books too!


My Review:
I have had this book for a couple months and I love it!  I have tried several of the activities listed and they were easy and fun for my daughter. On top of the fun I have learned a lot about art appropriate for the ages of my kids and understanding art in the eyes of a child.  

The first activity we did was create a sky picture.  We had just gotten back from a walk and the sky we saw was a dark rainy one, but I hoped online and we Googled some other pictures to look at.  She loved all the sunset pictures so she created a water color sunset.  

Another activity in the book was hand tracing.  My daughter did this a couple times and enjoyed it both times.  I also noticed her concentration was very intense as she tried to trace her hand and then trace line after line.  

We also worked on cutting!  I had a lot of paint color samples so I thought those would be perfect to get some practice cutting.  IT WORKED PERFECTLY! 

There are so many other ideas in the book and so many things to learn about art and how to encourage kids.  I am looking forward to continuing to use this for other projects.  

Time to enter the giveaway through the easy Rafflecopter form.  This giveaway is perfect for back to school time!  Any parent can use this book to help them do some extra fun projects at home or a homeschooler for art curriculum. 



In addition to the individual giveaways we have a HUGE GRAND PRIZE that is valued at over $300! So don't forget to visit Emptynester Reviews (entry on the rafflecopter) for the grand prize!

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!
