Art work

I have quite the little artists on my hands.  They love doing art projects, so we do a lot of them.  Pretty simple as that.  I am sad because our time to do them outdoors is dwindling....I like to keep the mess outside. 
Oh well....it is usually well worth it.  Isaac is doing so good with his drawing lately and is always asking how to draw/make things.  I feel sorry for him that he has me to turn too for help with my artistic abilities.  For now...he seems happy with the outcomes.  These are the last couple that we did.

This first one we went on a nature walk...gathered tons of leaves, and sticks and made our own trees.  They LOVED this.


Very careful where to place his leaves

Her favorite part was the glue




Addy's tree was a pile of leaves,and sticks and glue!!!  But she was VERY proud of her tree.  She kept going to the table and pointing to it and telling me that she made that.

This project we did outside on a nice afternoon.  We got out the big paper, paint and dinosaurs.  Lately, the kids have been singing a song about dinosaurs marching.  Well...we made them march in the paint and then on the paper.  It also turned into a lesson of mixing colors to see what other colors we could make.  They had a great time doing this activity.  The end result is still hanging in the kitchen for those who want to see.  My house is really turning into quite the art gallery.
