Crayon Resist Easter Bunting - KIDMADE!

I love crayon resist-anything. I decided to go the extra mile on this one so it would last longer.

My daughter had a friend over so it was time to do a fun art project.

I am a watercolor fanatic and Prang makes the best ones. 
This isn't a commercial, I truly love Prang better than Crayola when it comes to the Watercolors.
They are thicker and have more options. We used glitter and metallic.

I also grabbed some cardstock, yarn, and some cookie cutters.

First have the kids color with the Pastels/Oil Crayons.
They have such a smooth feel.


Then let them watercolor right over it. The more color, the better. I prefer the randomness.




After it is semi-dry trace some easter cookie cutters!



They can trace and cut if you want, but I wanted it to look more uniform, so I did it.

If I had older kids with me I would have had them do it all themselves.  The plus of me doing it ensured that I got the most out of each paper. :)

After that I added string and cut out with my cricut the easter letters.


There is something about kid-made easter decor. So perfectly cute.

Our little Art friend didn't have enough painted square footage to get a full banner, so we just did her first initial.


from what I am told...she loved it so much, she hardly put it down. :)

3D Chalk!

We used these awhile ago and they are still a summer staple around here...
The kids got this for Christmas, and we love them.
 There are different things you can do with them. There is an info packet inside like how to layer colors etc..
 Then you put the glasses on!
 I tried it and it really WORKS!
They are hard to break since they are big which is nice.  Everyone asks to pull them out and play with them!

Love this for the summer!

Resist Leaf Rubbings

This is another Fall Activity, with a twist.

Collect some leaves.
Tear off the paper of a crayon.
Stick the leaves under the paper.
Rub with the side of the crayon until the impression of the leaf appears.
Watercolor over the entire paper so the crayon is above the paint.
Like this. Then let dry. Let the kids feel the difference of crayon to paint. It is so neat!

Model Magic

I am adding a Label to this blog and it will be product testing. My oldest received this as a birthday present and I was curious to see how it worked and what it felt like and so here is our review.It is stretchy, and plastic-y and is easy to use. It hardens in about 24 hours, and It doesn't stick to your hands or the table like play doh.My kids liked it okay but it wasn't the same as play doh and maybe it isn't supposed to be, but I think it is for older kids who need to make something specific. I saved the other 5 pieces of it, because it comes individually wrapped which is a plus, but I need to come up with something specific to do with it, because once it is open it starts to really dry out. I am glad he got this as a present because I was dying to try it! :)He made a ladder and then made a caterpillar. We will draw the face on it once it is dry. :)

I give this a C+ for toddlers.
Which is fine because you never know unless you try right?
