Art Projects

Boy have we been a busy group of Middletons lately!  Cooper is finally old enough to do some of  the crazy art projects that I have had brewing up in this teacher brain of mine for the past few years.  Want to see what we have been doing???  Here are a few pictures!

We made a clothesline of t-shirts that had the letters of our last name on each shirt.  I laid all the shirts (mixed up) on the floor and had Cooper go to work hanging them up in order.  We have mastered our last name!

Bathtub painting!  Shaving cream + Food coloring = Super fun, but easy to clean up!

We took a large canvas and hot glued crayons to the top.  Then we took a blow dryer and heated up the crayons.  Isn't this fun???

We bought this a few weeks ago and Cooper has been busy making tons of fun pictures for us.  Its amazing, I thought it would make a mess with paint spraying all over the place, but it hasn't sprayed a single drop anywhere!  I love this!!!

Cooper is learning fine motor skills by tracing the line's from our house to the rodeo!

I drew 2 "grape vines" after the boys went to bed, and then they painted the grapes using their fingerprints the next day:

Some pipe cleaners and plastic beads helped up learn how to count.  He already knew how to count, so this helped him by pulling a pipe cleaner and showing up how he could count out the beads for each number.

Pour whole milk into a plastic bowl/dish.  Drop some food coloring around inside of the milk.  Take a toothpick and dip it into dishsoap.  Drag the toothpick through the water.  The surface tension of the milk is broken when the soapy toothpick hits.  We had tons of fun with this one!
