create something – Page 20

has looked like the past 3 weeks!It all started when I planned an activity to make some flower hair clips with the activity day girls…

Caryn and I are underway with our oil painting class. We had a great time during our first class and can’t wait to see how our first projects turn out.

I was shopping in “Soel Boutique”in the Riverwoods a couple of days ago and noticed this wall of artwork, it’s fabulous! It inspired me to get out the construction paper, paint, and beads…maybe I’ll get to it this weekend with the kids. I would love Myla to have a wall of art work in her room similar to this…

the supplies
mine, I had to use pink & reds, love those colors together!
Myla’s – hers was a train
KJ’s – Monster truck style, he doubled up his ho-ho’s!
We made these last night. I think they would be a great Easter classroom treat/activity for next week. The kids had fun making them, they each had their own twist on it.

*these are my first posted pictures from my new camera!! I’m thrilled with it. These were taken with my even newer lens, the 50mm-1.4, love it!!
