Ganpati making !

Super late post but this happened!
Just like any other year, keeping the tradition and making our own murti for Ganpati!

We all order so much online, even more so with the pandemic!!!

I usually get brown paper packaging with my and here's a cool idea to reuse them.

I set them up as paper to do art and we are going to use them as gift wrapping paper!!
They do look a bit wrinkled but hey, I will take it !

🥂 Starting our new year on the right foot!

Here's wishing you always have rainbows to follow clouds, confidence when you doubt, love to complete your life (- Ralph Waldo Emerson)

To a happier, healthier and happening 2022!! 🥂

🎆Diwali Greetings 🎆

It was definitely a thing when I grew up to send Diwali wishes and greetings to everyone you know! And I might just want to bring back the tradition but with homemade cards ☺️

Let's see how far we get with the card making 🤞

Activity for breakfast or evening before bed! I find painting or art as a great way to stop all the busy work, sit down, and relax ! I usually setup something very simple like paint or markers with plain paper stuck on island or on the floor. S would usually gravitate towards it and at times we all do and make it a fun family activity. #artwithkids #kidsart #kidsactivities #artinspiredplay #kidsartandcraft

Oil pastel & cooking oil painting

🧿 Oil pastel
🧿 Water Color paper
🧿 Cooking oil
🧿 Q tips

Take postcard size water color paper, draw your imagination and then add some textures and design with q tips dipped in cooking oil.

Remember to dip q tips just a little and then rub them over the oil pastel drawings!

Observe the fun shading, color variations as you rub oil.

🌍 Earth day activity! 🌍

What better to celebrate earth day with an activity that uses all natural material. We grabbed a few things from the yard and created our very own tree 🌴

It's amazing have an empty canvas can make kids creative. S ended up drawing a scene from early winter or late fall, where the trees have few leaves and it's just starting to snow.

We talked about fav seasons and what we love about them! 💕

⭕ Geometric shape art ⭕

Have you thought about art with shapes with various sizes?

We experimented it with various times of circles. Everything that's easily available at home. We mostly used a variety of lids, bottles, etc.

It was interesting to see how different folks come up with designs.. some overlapping, some designs like flowers etc..

We even colored these and the interesting part was how even art work is different!!

❤️💜💚💙💕 Valentine cards 💕♥️💜💚💙

These pop out cards are so cute and easy to do! And so versatile that you can change the shape of pop outs and viola!!!

1. Cut some hearts in various colors
2. Fold them in half
3. Stick the hearts like you see in the picture
4. Then stick the end hearts to the white postcard paper

Your card is Ready!!

S decorated it more with stickers and so on, so let you kid go wild with what they did like to do.
