Art at Home:

Here are some ideas for creating at home. Most of these use minimal supplies and are fun for the whole family to do together!

Roll An Abstract Artwork

Grab a die and pencil and paper and something to color with for this fun game!

Earth Day Art

Use watercolors, a coffee filter, a sharpie and your fingerprints to make this Earth! Click the video above to learn how!

Texture Hunt

To complete this texture hunt, grab paper and some "naked" crayons and head outside! Find places to rub your crayon sideways over your paper and see what texture appears! Think about sidewalks, leaves, pebbles, benches, bricks... My son and I had a lot of fun making our own (see below). :)
