Pockets
From the library we borrowed a picture book titled "The Pocket Book," in which the character has ten pockets sewn on the front of her dress. I decided to do a dress-shaped project with TheSquirrel, (gluing on) ten pockets of different textures (scraps of fabrics or materials). Then we wrote the descriptions of them, kinda like in the book. We wrote: "A scaly one, a roughy one, a dotty one, a plaidy one, a spotty one, a stripy one, a furry one, a purpley one, a silky one, and one to match my big blue eyes!"

Sidewalk Paint
Home Made Side Walk Paint.We've been doing a lot of temporary art, so by the time I run and get the camera, things are already dissolved, smooshed into an ambiguous blob, or (gasp!) still totally unfinished. These paints may work best in warmer weather but we did it anyway. The recipe for this is found in FEB 2008 Family Fun magazine: - 1/4 c. water
- 1/4 c. corn starch
- food coloring drops

Holiday Collage Art
 Following each holiday, we enjoy turning the cards into collage art. It ends up being a joint massacre of our card collection, but it's a nice way to condense, reuse & recycle the stash. Here's our Valentine "work of art." By: Stacy & Kenzie (almost 4 yrs. old) Mama's DoodlesLabels: stacy d.

Fingerprinting Doodles
We discovered we can make little things with our fingerprints. Very fun, very easy, with very cute results! We were using stamp pads (work best, less mess), but for the colors we didn't have in ink, we used paint. Got it all from one book by Ed Emberley (view here).
