Fun For All Ages

Spring has finally sprung here.  One day it just starts to get warm and almost magically all the trees and bushes become green.

Today, I want to share a spring art project that a friend of mine posted on Facebook.  Unlike my wife, who has turned our second bedroom into a shrine to her crafty arts, I do not have the interest or patience to do craft work.  Nor do I have small children to entertain.

So why am I writing a post about an art project to share with your children.  To be perfectly honest, I thought it looked cool and fun.

What you need:

• 3 pronged fork
• Paint
• Brushes

What to do:

• Using the 3 pronged fork press firmly into the paint while making sure both the prongs and the base get paint.
• While printing use a 2 step motion, first to get the tines of the fork printed, then the base printed to complete the tulip.
• Once the garden is printed using forks, draw the stems and leaves using green acrylic paint.

The end result reminds me of the painting that I love, hanging in my wife's crafty shrine, done for me by my nephew with Hot Wheels Cars in nursery school.
