Keep Your Kids Busy During Holidays
Looking to foster an atmosphere of creative fun during the busy
holiday season? With supplies found around your house and yard and a
few craft items, you can transform your table into a creative
workshop for your children.
Try these activities at home for some holiday fun:
Action Leaves: Here s a fun technique to create beautiful
action painted leaves for table decorations or window decorations.
Cut out leaf shapes and gather marbles and/or small balls that you
will dip into fall colors of paint. Place leaf cutouts in a box or a
deep tray, and then dip marbles and/or balls in paint, tip the box
or tray and let the marbles and balls roll around to create uniquely
colorful leaves!
Master Leaf Art: Cut out fall leaves or collect natural
leaves and create a fall collage by gluing them onto a stiff piece
of paper, cardboard or even half of a file folder.
Make a Turkey! Cut out a bowling pin shape for the body from
brown paper. Collect leaves or make your own. Glue these to the back
of the wide part of the body for his tail feathers. Add eyes, a beak
and feet.
Create a Leaf Printing: Collect fresh leaves and paint the
backs. Now press to the paper. Use a variety of leaves and colors to
overlap for a beautiful fall print.
Wrapping Paper and Bags: Use cookie cutters dipped in paint
and stamp all over plain paper for fun gift-wrap. Do the same on
plain bags for a festive look.
Snowflakes: Cut out snowflakes by folding round paper circles
in half and half again and then once more. Cut snips of paper out of
each side. Open to see the snowflake. Add sparkle by decorating with
glitter glue.
We are delighted to share some engaging art projects to ignite
children s imaginations, remarked Marla Hockfeld, Director of
Abrakadoodle-Henderson/Las Vegas. Creativity needs to be cultivated
