PREP
If you can’t go to a park, your own drive way, sidewalk, or apartment pavement will work.
*Smooth cement will work better but textured wasn’t too bad for us.
Wipes are great for cleaning off the hands and having fresh ones for the next color blend or artwork.
Allow your kids to choose their own space and create their own drawings
Suggestions: landscapes, outer space, self portraits, fruits, rainbow, animals, seascapes, names, etc.
Naomi chose different blues to create clouds and an ocean.
She used her fingers and eventually her hand to blend the colors.
*Paint brushes or foam brushes work well too.
She also added a pale sun.
Micah started off with lime green and created some shapes. He later added blue.
Naomi helped him blend.
I created a fall scene with yellow, orange, red, and a few greens. I just can’t get enough.
Testing out some chalks before using them in her art.
Matthias is 2, he was just happy to do what the others were doing.
3D chalk work. Naomi outlined the outer left edges with pink and some of the inner right sides, then blended.
My wobbly November writing in red, orange, yellow, and hot pink. It WAS November 1st, so you know, I had to make sure everyone else knew haha.
Something so simple, created so much fun. It’s no wonder our Hope Boxes bring so much joy. Anyone can give one and anyone can use it.
Happy crafting!
Amanda and Naomi
