i pinned it, i did it - kids crafts

tuesday required some watercolor therapy... for me anyways :)

kids didn't have school and we had two extra kiddos with us all day. i found this pretty project on Pinterest and thought we could all enjoy it.

it is a wet on wet watercolor technique. click here for the full instructions....




my bigger kids had a harder time just painting blobs of color and letting it run. they wanted to really paint flowers. made me a little sad that they are already fighting the tendency to make everything look perfect and how it is in a photograph rather than letting go and being creative, taking risks....

i enjoyed the project as well. the last photo is mine. might frame it and put it in the girls room.
