Rainbow Paper Plate Weaving Project
I've been a bit down in the dumps lately. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's because of all of the transitions happening in my life... or lack of sleep... or both. Hopefully I'll feel better once summer starts. In the meantime, I've been doing quite a bit of crafting to cheer myself up. Recently I took my love of rainbow crafts and combined it with my love for paper plate crafts to make... tada! This lovely rainbow paper plate weaving craft!

Weaving Cute Baby Turtles Using God's Eye Weaving Pattern
Looking for some fun and unique summer crafts to do with the kiddos? Me too! School is almost over and I've got summer crafts on my mind! Today I'm sharing this fun twist on a God's Eye weaving craft. (Remember collecting sticks and making those in summer camp?) But, instead of making the traditional 2 stick version, we recently made a fun 3 stick version.... that also happens to look like a tiny baby turtle!
(Aww, aren't they cute? My preschooler was in looove with these.)

Window process art (and our favorite 25+ art books!)
There is something about process art that really appeals to me. When my son and I are free to just explore materials, there's more room to be creative (and a whole lot less pressure on both of us to make things "look right.") We get to explore, create, and talk with each other. Now, I will always love cute kids' crafts. (Googly eyes and glitter will always hold a special place in my heart!) But lately I've just had enough time (and energy) to put out open-ended projects for us to do.
Here's a recent window process art activity that we recently did together...

Shiny Art Necklaces
These shiny aluminum art necklaces contain everything that I love about kids craft all rolled into a single craft. They allow kids to freely create art without worrying about making things "right" or "perfect." They're super easy to make. (My preschooler didn't need help at all!) And they use everyday materials. (Fancy-shmancy materials aren't needed!) Annnd... the resulting craft looks pretty smashing, wouldn't you say?

Easter Egg Printing
I've been wanting to to try printmaking with my preschooler for awhile now. After seeing this great Easter Egg Printing post from The Artful Parent, I thought I'd give styrofoam printing a try. Styrofoam printing is cheap and doesn't (really) need any special materials. Sounds great, right? Today's Easter craft is making these neat Easter Egg Prints with your kiddos.
Egg-cellent Easter Egg Printing!
