Pretty Lil' Painters

This Saturday, the Studio was busy with hands and minds filled with excitement and creativity. I just had to share these adorable paintings. At a girl-filled table, each artist had two different colors of acrylic paint on their plates and they had to share colors - which added to the excitement, confusion, and interaction. It was so sweet to hear each artist ask for one another's colors with a please and thank you. :) Enjoy these lovely lil' treats!

Art washes from the soul the dust of everyday life.

Who doesn't love Thanksgiving crafts?

I'm Thankful for Busy Hands

Print hands with brown tempera (we made 6 each) 

Kiddos cut around the hands leaving a white border 

(For little ones, I drew the border with a pencil first)

Add beak with yellow triangle scrap and a googly eye (craft glue works best)

Add multicolored feathers to each finger

Cut a paper towel tube or toilet paper tube in half (or so) and connect with craft glue

Viola! A turkey napkin ring! Little hands are perfect for this project :)
