Paper chain production line!

It’s easy to decorate paper and get kids making paper chains. The paper gets cut up anyway so you can let them scribble away! 😂 #artistmummy

Necklaces

Self hardening clay pots, decorated with treasure gold and bunting!

This is my blog where I share children's art ideas, so other parents can use them. We use sed self hardening clay to make little pots with lids. We let them dry a week and then polished them with treasure gold.
We also made bunting from a craft kit, I have a design degree and many years experience teaching children's art and craft but I'm not above using kits! They make doing craft with kids easy, parenting is busy business, I'm all for some easy.

Pirate treasure maps, with wax seal and ribbon.

This is my blog where I share children's art ideas, so if other parents want to do art with their kids you can use our ideas. I hope it helps you. #artistmummy

We have been making pirate treasure maps with wax seal and ribbon, also the come in a postal tube to add to the feel, and give them something else to decorate!

We drew maps, ripped the edges, stained them with strong black coffee and let them dry. While they dried we decorated the tubes with stickers and our names. Then I burned some edges and used a candle and a foreign coin to make wax seals and stuck on ribbon. We tied them up with more ribbon and put them in tubes, the kids are still playing pirates!

Pumpkins - show us yours!

Here are the pumpkins my daughter and I carved. We would love to see other people's. Please post them in the comments!

Halloween bunting

This is my blog where I share children's art ideas.
We created this Halloween bunting with three dimensional pumpkins.

I can up with the 3D pumpkins but many of the other shapes and drawings such as the spider and bat are entirely my daughte's ideas and artwork.
