Valentine's Day Mural


We had a lot of fun with this process oriented project.  It's a messy one but the girls had a blast and that really does make it worth it!



Collage



I started with a large sheet of butcher paper taped to the window and rolled onto the floor. Then I included a variety of Valentine themed materials including pink and red paint, red glitter, heart shaped
doilies, glue, and heart stickers.

I invited the girls to come and create and let them lead the way with the materials provided. 

My 2 year old used the hear shaped cookie cutters to make prints. My 4 year old wanted to get messy and immediately started finger painting and making hand prints.

  They both enjoyed painting on the floor as well as painting standing up on the window. This mural style was a fun and new way to paint and create.

The heart doilies were a big hit as well as the glitter!!

  Like I said before this was a messy one but everything we used was 100% washable!

  Such a fun way to get creative celebrating Valentines Day! I think we will do this again for a St. Patricks Day mural!

Project 365 One Month Complete


Just wanted to share a few of my favorites from my photo a day project this past month. I fell way behind after the second week but I'm proud to say I am now caught up! However, I'm sorry to say I'm behind in commenting in the 365 blogs I am following. I hope to get better at that as well. It's really one of the best parts of the project, watching and encouraging others in their journey.


 Only 11 more months to go....






Anyone else doing a 365? How are your projects coming along?
