Kids Crafts
Since St. Patrick's Day is just around the corner, I thought I'd post a few appropriate crafts over the next few days to celebrate the green holiday. This craft is great fun for the little kids and a creative pleasure for the bigger kids.
What you need:
- Green Construction Paper
- Green crayons or you can use oil pastels
- White tempera paint
- Paintbrushes
- Water and a few water containers
- Cover a work area with plastic or newspaper
- Paint shirts or smocks for the little ones is a good idea
What to do:
- Draw a picture or any kind of design on green construction paper using green crayon -- a bit tricky because its sometimes hard to see what it is you are drawing. If you can't draw an image with detail, just do some simple and fun designs.
- Press hard with the crayon to make it nice and thick.
- After your picture is drawn, brush some white tempera paint lightlty over the paper.
- Voila! It's magic... now you'll see cool lines appearing out of nowhere!
- Have the child sign the picture and then display it.
This fun craft comes from my friends at Free Kid Crafts
Happy St. Patty's Day!
