Watercolor painting tutorials for Halloween 🎃 I

Watercolor painting tutorials for Halloween 🎃 I have two new videos up this week! I strongly believe that all children can benefit from watercoloring and being inspired by watching watercoloring, regardless of their age! This is a really fun activity for the afternoon. Link to my channel in bio, check it out for a Halloween themed activity.

The monster mash 😅 This was a great little art project and super simple! Playing along with @get.creative.with theme monsters here.
.
We used acrylic paint and straws to make blown paintings, a fun process art project :)
.
As the paint was drying we added googly eyes 👀 to create monsters, head on over to the stories to see all the fun!

Halloween Bat 🦇 rice mix. I added candy pumpkins and candy corn to this setup and it was heavily enjoyed!
.
This is my first attempt at sensory rice art, usually I just make up fun colors but it was fun to try to make a bat; hopefully you can visualize it 😂🎃
.
Head on over to the stories to see this play in action!

Pumpkin small world play! The girls and I added so

Pumpkin small world play! The girls and I added some pumpkins from our garden to their fairy garden setup outside. This small addition really changed the perspective and imaginative stories in the girls play. I’d have to say an unexpected gain from Covid times is how much more the girls are playing together; especially dolls and fairies. I really enjoy eavesdropping on their sister conversations 😍

My girls created this giant cardboard cat last wee

My girls created this giant cardboard cat last week and decorated it themselves with gel pens. It turned out cute and we weren’t sure where to put it. Today I put out our play dough, dried flowers and beads and the kids created her a costume. My little one was especially happy to work on this project after school, he loves to get into play dough especially if there are many small pieces to work with! 🍁

Pumpkin and ghost tic tac toe. This is a fun little game we made with rocks a few Halloween’s ago! #throwbackthursday The girls loved painting each piece and after it all dried we added faces! This is a super simple project that your kids will love to make and play.

Art on the go this morning! I bought my kids new sketchbooks and their own watercolor sets this school year so that we could practice nature journaling. Small watercolor sets are the perfect media to take on the go. (I’ll link ours in my story)
.
This is a new, favorite activity and we used saltwater in our jar so really becoming one with the ocean this morning!

Let’s chat self care for a minute. Self care is

Let’s chat self care for a minute. Self care is something I haven’t practiced in the past about 10 years since becoming a mom. I’m not saying I’m a huge mess everywhere I go but I definitely put myself last because having babies is all consuming.
🍁
I’m coming into a new season suddenly where my youngest is almost 4 and I’m no longer in the baby stage, everyone is potty trained and sleeps through the night 🙌🏻
There is a next chapter mamas and it’s softer and lighter in some ways and just as challenging in others. This year is my first year homeschooling, so I feel pretty busy despite knowing I’m living in this next chapter. What do you do for self care as a mom? How do you recharge? I run and I paint.
🍁
For about a year, I had stopped painting, I was teaching a lot and no longer painting for fun. A friend asked me why a few weeks ago and it really got me thinking how much I miss it.
🍁
I encourage my kids to paint and draw every morning while I read to them and it hadnt occurred to me to join in. So here’s how I’m fitting it in, challenging myself to pant everyday even if it’s just doodles.
🍁
I’d love to hear how you recharge and how you make time to do so....
Wishing you a great Friday peeps ❤️

And then comes Halloween! Such a cute book that really brings the childhood nostalgia of dumping all your Halloween candy out and sifting through the loot! My kids really enjoyed this book and we decided to make a giant cardboard pumpkin 🎃
