Wordless Wednesday: Watercolor Painting at the Library

It was National Library Week last week and one of the activities our library had was a watercolor bookmark class for all ages, so the kids signed up.

 

These are the two bookmarks they had to choose from.  They both chose to make the 'bee' one.

 

I somehow cut off the top of both their heads while taking pictures...I'm going to blame it on my phone ;-)

 

 

Their finished bookmarks!  I helped a little with staying within lines and blending, but the kids did most of it on their own...even the writing!

For more Wordless Wednesday, visit Go Graham Go and the WW HQ.

Water Color Paintings

It's been almost a year since Rich and I spent a whole dollar at Wal-Mart for a little Rose Art water color paint set for Morgan. Somehow that little paint set got lost in her activity box and we just recently came across it when I was reorganizing the box. (With 2 little ones shuffling through it, it had become quite messy! LOL!)

I'm not sure Morgan even knew what the paint set was, but she begged me to do it! I got her a little cup of water, her paper and showed her how to go about doing some water color painting. It was like it was the best thing ever! Honestly, I think it was her first experience with paint (besides finger painting with pudding) and she must have spent over an hour with it! She even wanted to do another the next day!

Look at that excited smile!

Morgan's first paintings!

Hours of creativity for only a dollar! ;-)
