Victoria Ruby Azevedo gave me this idea through our Facebook Fan Club page and I tried it out with Ethan. This is our outcome 🙂

Toilet Paper Roll Tree

Paint the toilet paper roll brown

Let it dry

Cut a tree top out of a green foam

Use a single hole punch, punch out red little 'apples' 😀

Glue the 'apples' onto the tree top

Cut a slit on both opposite sides

Insert the tree top and your toilet paper roll tree is done 🙂

Thank you Victoria for the great idea 😀

Halloween is around the corner. Let’s make a spider today 😀

Paper Plate Spider

Paint a paper plate black on both sides. Once dry, cut it into two.

Cut legs out of black construction paper. Dot some glue on them.

Paste onto the paper plate.

Spread some glue on the other half of the paper plate.

Paste them together.

Cut two circles out of white construction paper and paste.

Use marker and draw the eyeballs 😀

Use a hole punch and punch two holes. Tie a string and your spider is done 🙂

Perfect for Halloween 🙂

Let’s do some salt painting today. You’ll need lots of salt, glue and some food colouring. Bare in mind though that this artwork won’t last so be prepared to explain to your kid that he can’t keep this in his gallery 🙂

Salt painting

First, I let him spread glue all over black construction paper.

Place the construction paper in a shallow container and pour salt onto the glue.

Dip a brush into food colouring and slightly touch the tip of the brush on the salt.

Pay attention to the salt. It will suck absorb the food colouring and kids are usually fascinated by it!

Next I spread glue onto a black construction paper. I spelled out his name 🙂 He poured salt all over it 😀

It’s ‘magic’. Kids will be amazed I assure you 😀

Ethan and his masterpiece 🙂 Too bad it will get runny almost immediately though 🙁

Refer to the video we shared on how to cut letters from paper here and we’ll be making alphabet teaching aid again today.

Today’s lucky letter is O.

O is for Octopus

Cut an O out of a piece of paper.

Use that paper O as a guide to draw the outline on a piece of colored foam.

Cut eight tentacles for the octopus.

Use hole punch and punch some circle foams.

Paste the small circles onto the tentacles.

Glue the decorated tentacles onto the O and you are done 🙂

This bat will make a great addition to your Halloween decor 😀

Egg carton bat

You’ll need to cut the egg carton as shown above.

Paint it black. Add eyes and draw fangs.

Put a thread through it and hang. Happy Halloween 😀

We’re feeling like making a cool name poster today 🙂

Name poster

I used masking tape and taped Ethan’s name on the drawing block.

Using sponge, he dabs paint on his name.

Continue with other colors.

I used masking tape to tape some cool shapes such as stars, moon and all.

Got him to dab around until completely covering the whole paper. The messier, the better 😀

Once dry, let him tear out the masking tape. It is so much fun!

The name poster is just so cool 🙂

A Crafty-Crafted Friend’s submission of lovely potato stamp art 🙂

Milton of Our Little Corners is such a cool brother. He does art and craft with his younger siblings. Today, he’s sharing their potato stamp fun art 🙂

Milton used potato, water color, knife and bond paper for this fun art.

Milton’s instruction 🙂

– Get a potato and cut it into half ( with pencil or any pointed material like a small knife)

– Outline your design into the raw surface.

– You can start of with some simple designs like a star, a fish or even a clover leaf.

– Using a small knife, cut around the outline of the design to a depth of 1/4 inch and then cut the background of the shape it self.

– For colors, you can use water colors , which you can mix with a little water.

– Just dip or spread the color with brush and apply it to a suitable surface.

Tadah!

Thank you Milton for spending quality time with your brother doing art projects together. Thank you too for sharing this art work with us 🙂

When we go out shopping, we like to sample food given by the promoters and always end up with lots of paper cups in hand. Instead of just disposing them, if they are used to serve you cereals or any dry food, chances are they are still clean. Let’s do Mother Nature a favour and recycle those paper cups. Let’s transform them into pretty flowers 🙂

Paper Cup Flower

See this paper cup? Don’t throw them away.
Let’s make a flower out of it 🙂

Cut all around the paper cup

Cut a circle out of craft foam and paste.
Any color of your choice.

Glue a craft stick at the back. Let it dry.

Your simple paper cup flower is done 🙂

It’s time to get ticklish again 😀 Blurp, blurp.. FISH here we come 😛

Footprint Fish

Paint your feet red or any colour of your choice and stamp onto a drawing block

Paint your pointer white and stamp as the eyes. Paint some fins and the fish is done 🙂
