Kitchen Floor Art Classes


















We've been doing a lot of art work lately.  Water color and sculpting (i.e. playdough)are our specialties.   The picture at the top is Hope's.  It's a thunderstorm.  It happened to be storming the day we painted these.  Hope is afraid of storms.  I was feeling like playing pop child psychologist and decided to have her paint a storm so we could talk about it a little bit.  The bottom is my attempt at re-creating a piece of art from one of our library books "Hank Finds Inspiration."  That was the inspiration he found.  Sometime soon I'll post my thoughts on children's literature these days...
We also play playdough...a LOT!  Here's Hope's baseball glove.  It's one that we make every time we make anything.  Imagination is key in playdough sculpting!


Think outside the box! Sculpt with your feet, not just your hands!

This is her crayon and paper...a little easier to envision.

Too bad playdough doesn't stick very well.  Mustaches and ear rings are just hard to do.





Going a little more traditional route with cookie cutters.
Uh oh! Hope's gotta take this call! See ya next time!
