Yellow prints

our materials:
stamps
green stamp pad
3 yellow markers
yellow crayon
yellow colored pencil
yellow star stamp marker











Lucas loved using the stamps to make prints! He is getting so good at making clear images with the stamps and it makes him so happy :)













Lucas's artwork!
He was so proud of it and told me 'this for Grandma!'
So, of course we had to pack it up in a yellow envelope and mail it to Grandma :)











And just for fun - this is my finished project. I almost always sit and do art with Lucas. It seems to really encourage him to sit and create for a longer period of time and he enjoys it so much more. And, really, who couldn't use more art in their lives?? I sure enjoy the quiet time spent creating with my small one! It's so peaceful and happy :)

The boxes had it coming

Whenever I'm not looking, Lucas shreds every cardboard box he can find. Into tiny little pieces. And scatters them all over the house. I have no idea why, but it seems to make him really happy. This morning I set out ten boxes for him. He spent about an hour meticulously ripping them up. And then he asked for more. I scrounged through the recycling and found four more boxes for him. He spent another half an hour shredding those. It made him SO happy. I'm trying to think of some way to use these ripped up boxes in a craft project. Maybe a giant collage?? Glue is always a big hit!
