It’s so blah outside in Massachusetts. I mean… BLLUUGGH!!!
For the last few months New Englanders were spoiled with much-needed 50-60 degree weather. I love it but it makes me nervous. Nervous because last winter was so brutal with cold days and snow that wouldn’t go away I keep thinking….uh-oh…Here it comes.
But no, great weather abound. Until today. So I can’t complain.
My daughter and I needed a rainy day project. One that has fast results.
I like to paint with her and if she had her way, she would paint everyday.
So we started out with paint on colored construction paper. I used washable (always washable) glitter paint. I love glitter!
After blow-drying the painting dry (because we have no patience) we got out the kid scissors. We the proceeded to cut out (with adult help of course) different shapes. You can fold the painting in half and cut shapes like circles, hearts, leaves. Whatever you desire. I did leaf shapes. I helped with most of the cutting.
Break out the glue stick and start gluing!! This is the fun part. All the swirly colors make pretty patterns.
Pretty soon you’ll have your own masterpiece together!! I gently blotted the painting with paper towels before blow drying the painting in the beginning. It also left a cool pattern on the painting. Try different paints, brushes and stamps to make patterns. A comb makes cool waves too.
