Bee has a slight cold again (remnant from last week) so she's home this week. Early morning and she's already asking me to do craft with her. I don't feel so well myself to I told her later. While resting I try to think up something for us to do as I am low on craft materials. I think I'm just going to get her to do water coloring.
Then while separating our recycling bin I came upon an empty egg carton and it reminded me of all the egg carton projects I saw. I took it and dug out all the paint I had left. Mostly pink colours but they'll do !
I really like Craft Smart acrylic paint from Michaels. They sell for something like $1.50 each colour (59ml) and they come in an array of colours. The paint is non-toxic, permanent, water based and the best part is that it cleans up with a little soap and water. Knowing my girls, they often paint themselves and the table :)
I used an exacto knife to cut up each egg cup then used a scissor to trim the top of each cup. We're making flowers so I cut a variety of shapes. Then off we go painting them ! Easy right ?
Our finished flowers were glued onto a piece of card stock paper. Bee asked me to cut her some green leaves from construction paper. The girls had a lot of fun and so was I ! We will do this again for sure.
Painting is messy business ! Good thing it's water friendly. Our hands, hairs, clothes, paint brushes and table all got a water bath after and all came out clean !!!
