Fly Swatter Art


We've given up paintbrushes once again today and this time we've replaced them with fly swatters. The splatter was out of control (in a good way). Everyone ended up covered in paint and there was a nonstop giggle-fest from all our little artists. Highlight of the morning was Maya yelling "splat" every time she put her swatter down.

Healthy Art


We had some leftover broccoli from a previous art program (strange I know) so I put it to good use with our little ones and learned something new. Broccoli makes an amazing paint brush!

Chemical Birthdays

Scottie had a science themed birthday. Yes, he's 32 going on 6. So... I just had to make some atom cupcakes to go along with the fantastic vintage chemistry set I got him. The set is from the 1950's and comes with over 50 chemicals in the original glass bottles, a molecule model, plus loads of beakers and science things I don't understand (luckily he does). Fingers crossed that our house is explosion-free for the next few weeks!
