Eli's first time painting with a paint brush.
Watercolor painting is quickly becoming one of Eli’s favorite art activities. I recently picked up this kid’s watercolor set at a thrift store. It’s older than me-made in 1984! I happened to think that was really cool. 😉 Guess they never get old?
Such concentration.
We try to do some type of arts and crafts activity once a day since Eli stopped eating crayons. 😉 If it’s nice out we take them outside to the picnic table. Try your hand at Ice Cube Painting before summer ends. What a blessing to sit outside on a pretty day watching a sweet little boy explore the world of art!
Eli has had so much fun with these watercolors. We even sent one to Great Meme as a Get Well Soon card.
Did you know that you can also make your own watercolors? It is very easy! Simply combine: 3 T. cornstarch, 3 T. baking soda, 3 T. vinegar and 1.5 t. corn syrup. (This should fizz.) Pour into desired container (an egg carton would work great) and add in food coloring. Then grab a paintbrush and show your kid how it’s done! To switch things up try using different utensils as the brush (we often use q-tips).
Eli's first water-color painting involved homemade watercolor paints and Q-tips.

Now you can take your homemade popsicles outside with you and eat them while watercoloring lol.
thanks so much for sharing on Craft schooling Sunday! Great to see that you’re starting your little artist out early!
