Every Friday we do a craft or art project now. It’s part of Anna’s schooling, which has been going very, very (inexplicably) well. She is reading! She’ll have the speed and confidence to tackle her shelf of picture books soon. Here are a few pictures of our latest craft… have any favorite projects to suggest we try?
My favorite so far:
Use masking tape to “draw” a design on a canvas. Then paint over it, covering everything. Once the paint dries, remove the tape to see the shape within the painting.

Maggie peeling the tape off hers. I don’t have a picture of hers finished… but it has three stars on it.
And I got to do one too!

My finished project
No suggestions, but wanted to say these are AWESOME! Such a simple idea, but yet, I never thought of this. I am definately going to have to try it.
