If you look closely enough, you can see art nearly anywhere you look!
LED tealight in the middle of the table with a glass of water in front of it. |
just a simple glass of water becomes art with light behind it. |
color lessons with Alpha Pops |
matching the pops and discussing color |
citiblocs become art ;) |
makng a wooden spiral with the citiblocs |
adding on some other blocks |
translucent color chips on top of the table become art on the dirt under the table when the sunlight hits them, reflecting the color on to the dirt! See all of the color on the dirt? It is from simple translucent color chips we got at lakeshore learning. We use them for many different things. |
Graham and Colin used playdough and playdough tools on a tree to create some pretty neat art! We had a playdough and chalk playdate at the park and this is what they came up with on their own! |
They had a really great time and it was their own idea!!!! |
so into their art! (BTW it removes easily from the tree with no damage) |
They spent a lot of time on their art and kept going back to it |
Parker, playing chase with a new friend at the park |
Balloons with LED lights inside of them inside of a play tent |
They had so much fun in the tent with the glow balloons that it was impossible to get a good photo! |
drawing with highlighters is a favorite of Graham and Parker! |
A close up of some glass bead gems we use in every day play becomes art! |
a very artsy view of our marble run with close up |
these squishy balls look awesome, they make a great artsy photo! |
a close up of our light table stacking tubes looks so pretty |
Some translucent stirrers we use on the light table looking very artful in this close up |
Magna tiles always look very artsy! |
I had an idea after we used these translucent color chips at the park for a playdough/chalk playdate |
I got out the scotch tape and the translucent color chips and started making strips of bingo chips |
when the sun shines through, they create a rainbow in the room! |
So simple, yet so fun and pretty! |
introducing "cascading rainbow sun catchers" |
Starbucks tazo passion tea |

wow such colorful ideas! very nice - beautiful - thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWe love cake pops too! Passion Tea Lemonade and cake pops from Starbucks. :) Love the suncatcher idea - we may have to do that in the big dining room window. It's almost like stained glass!
ReplyDeleteWhat exactly are the color translucent chips that you strung in the window? Where did you get them? They are so cool, and I need to do this at our library.
ReplyDeleteThanks Donna
love your cascading rainbow sun catchers
ReplyDeleteThat looks like great fun. I would love it if you would link one of your posts each week to Multiples Monday. There are a couple of hours left today...and then I host it every week on my blog, Capri + 3. Blogs about multiples post a link to a recent or beloved post. I hope to see you there. Your activity linky party also looks like a lot of fun.
