With the kids (actually, and for me) I like creative boundaries.
I often bring a colouring book with just pencil crayons (colouring pencils) or just markers or just crayons, so they have to get a bit creative instead of having every artsy thing under the sun available.
Anyway, for these sorts of things I let them choose 3 colours. So these are the ones she chose and then I guided her so she did some diagonally and some straight.
All you need are:
- mini notecards
- mini envelopes
- washi tape
- scissors
Done.
Easy-peasy
And best, some time for Kendra and me to play with some crafty stuff.
When was the last time you got creative?
Cute Marcia. Not in a long long time
ReplyDeleteI hadn't done anything for months either but I was very intentional in July!
DeleteVery pretty!
ReplyDeleteN has to wear a silly/crazy hat on Friday...so I let her loose on some stickers, paint and cardboard today to do up a hat I've been dying to get rid of anyway.
TEEEHEEE - you kill me! I love it!
DeleteNothing creative aside from designing K'a new born photo book on shutterfly which was a breeze and is now making me consider doing more
ReplyDeleteCute! I am as creative as a rusty nail.
ReplyDeleteSadly not recently enough. Last "creative" thing I did was Kade's easter hat for school. Need to tap into my creative side again.
ReplyDeleteThese are VERY cute. I am actually out of washi. Can you believe it? Am trying to NOT spend money on craft materials unless I REALLY need to. Busy getting rid of lots of things too. These days I am all about the square. I knitted a few for a knit-a-thon for Mandela Day and handed them in. And then I just carried on. I figured that I no longer need to get rid of the yarn that I have no plans for. I can just knit squares. In this way I get to use up all the bits of yarn, I get to try out and practice new techniques and stitches AND the squares pile up ready to be donated for the next charity that needs them. Win-WIN. Am also attempting to crochet granny squares – I need A LOT more practice with that though.
