Hello my lovely friends π
I hope this post finds you well and in good spirits! πππ·
Crazy times we’re living in, huh? I’m currently practicing this ‘social distancing’ thing. It’s going good – Books and Art definitely help! π
And speaking of Art…today I wanna share some fabulous art-ideas for all of you that are stuck in the house. π₯΄ These are great activities to share with the young ones, but also fun for the ‘young-at-heart’ π
1. Roll A Picasso
I already created my ‘ Masterpiece’ π
Now some color in his cheeks, and he’ll be ready for the weekend! π₯³
2. Watercolor/Yarn Art
I have not tried this, but it looks like a lot of fun!
All you need is:
-Yarn
-PVA Glue (Elmer’s for example)
-Watercolor paper
-Watercolors
-Paintbrush
-Craft Stick
-Scissors
–Water
For ‘step-by-step’ instructions please click here
3. Spin-Art
Now that is nice and messy π
Here’s what you need:
–A recycled CD
β’ Sticky tape or masking tape
β’ Rubber bands, the more the better! (We used 15)
β’ A pen that will fit through the hole in the disk
β’ 4 coins of the same size
β’ Acrylic paint, poster paint or inks
β’ Water
β’ A pot, tray or egg carton to mix the paint colours
β’ Brushes and an old spoon to mix and drop the paint
β’ A large piece of paper (A3 or A2)
β’ An apron to cover your clothes
β’ A work area where you can get messy
β’ Newspaper to cover your work area

I hope these ideas keep you all busy for a while! I keep digging, and will be back with more soon!
Until then…be safe & stay healthy! π

A most positive spin (pun intended) on these times in which everyone appears to have totally lost their senses.
Thank-you, Tina ! π

How cute! Roll a picasso looks like fun. I might try that with the kids at work if we get the chance to go back after all the craziness.
