We've had a little bit of a artistic bug lately here. This mostly means mess in our house. But we've enjoyed it nonetheless.
This first project was in our garage. I hung an old sheet up and let the girls paint away. I couldn't just watch for long and joined in too. It was so fun I think I'll keep buying old sheets at the thrift store to keep on hand as cheap canvases.
The next project I got out glitter, colored sand, paint and glue. We all had fun making a variety of pieces. If you haven't finger-painted in a while, you should. The feeling of paint squishing in between your fingers is therapeutic.
This last activity isn't so much art, but a tactile experience, since you don't end up with a product. I buy shaving cream on sale to keep on hand if ever a rainy day comes along. We were lucky this time to have Aunt Hannah and Uncle Will here to play too.
Our most recent art medium I don't have pictures of. I bought a 8-pack of dry erase markers. We have been filling up our sliding glass door with pictures and notes. It's really fun to mix it up and get away from paper and crayons sometimes.
