This turned out to be a really fun project. What I loved the most about it was that all three of my kids (ages 2-8) LOVED it. Kept them entertained for at least a good twenty min. Which during summer break is PRICELESS!
Here’s what we did.
I have found from previous experience that there are some things that are not fun to do with kids. So I did the prep work BY MYSELF.
Then I cut a bunch of squares (12 to be exact) from white card stalk and chalked them with scrapbooking chalk
Than using our print mounting glue I glued the white squares on the front and side of the block. . .
. . .and a cute picture (the cute part IS necessary) on the front.
Than I let the kids go crazy coloring the blocks.
For you FB fans, here they are from left to right, Super Demanding, Whiner, and Disobedient. {{aka Ellie girl, Carson Larson and Mr. B. . .aka Ellie, Carson and Brayden}}
Just an FYI I don’t normally paint pictures of snakes on my children’s faces, he had just returned from a party and it was crucial to his social status that the snake stayed.
On with the tutorial!!
When they were done. . .
I used our texturizing cream to seal and protect their art work. It also gives the pictures a canvas look which I LOVE!!
And here’s the end result.
How awsome is that. . . cute kids, fun memories!
LOVE IT!
