Creative Corner

As I mentioned before in a previous post I used to teach preschool and we did a different art or craft everyday. I had so much fun doing the Thanksgiving art wth Harper that I have decided I am going to try to do a couple different arts and crafs activities with her every month. 

I changed things up on part of the wall above the dresser in her room and am going to hang up the different crafts for the month. She already love looking at the pictures tht I have hung there and I want her to be excited to see things that she has made on the wall too.

This morning we made her snowman footprint craft. It's a cute and easy craft and it doesn't take many supplies. 

-construction paper

-white paint (washable) 

-markers 

When I made the thanksgiving handprint craft with Harper I had a really hard time getting her to put her hand flat in the paper. I was hoping that it would be easier with this one since it was with the footprint. I was able to get a couple pretty decent footprints, however she did NOT like the feeling of the paint on her foot. 

I felt kind of bad, she was fine when I painted the bottom of her foot but as soon as I stood her up to do the footprint, and she felt the slimy paint she started screaming like she was scared. I just kept saying, we're almost done, we're almost done- but we had come that far I wasn't going to wipe it off till I had a couple footprints. 

As soon as I say her down and started wiping the paint off all was well and she even tried to clean the footprints of the paper that we had just painted. 

As soon as the paint was dry I just drew on the footprints to make them into the snowmen. 

Later on we did the simple reindeer fingerprint craft too since I had all the supplies out- and now she has the beginnings of her own little creative corner on her bedroom wall.
