Welcome to the Budding Artists!
Let’s bloom and grow as artists alongside our kids.
This Impressionist style art activity makes it easy for kids (of all ages) to capture the beauty of fall. If you typically do arts and crafts with kids, you probably already have all the supplies you need. Note: We did this art project using oil pastels, but it can also be done with crayons (if they have the paper removed), but it won’t be as vibrant.
Kids (and adults) will have fun channeling their inner Seurat with this simple dot painting activity that uses simple (and washable) materials to make a piece of lovely fall decor.
The goal of this activity is to use dots of red paint and dots of yellow paint placed next to each other (not mixed) to create the look of orange dots (leaves).
Kids of all ages will have fun with this pumpkin patch painting activity. It’s fast and easy to put together, and you only need a few materials including our favorite washable paint.
Use this simple process to turn a child’s artwork into a card that can be given to a loved one. This would be great to do for Mother’s Day, Grandparent’s Day, birthdays, or any other special occasion that requires a sentimental gift.
The idea behind this card is that you can use it to gift a small piece of artwork to a loved one. We attach the art in such a way that it can later be removed, if desired, and kept without the card.
Want the kids to make a handmade gift to give to a loved one? These beeswax candles make great homemade gifts that are sure to bring joy to others. And the best part is they are simple to make, the craft can be done in one sitting, and there’s virtually no mess.
It’s easier than you think to make beeswax candles with kids thanks to this kit of beeswax sheets and cotton wicks.
Making beaded bracelets (and necklaces) is a great handicraft activity for kids (and adults). The finished product can be gifted to loved ones, shared with friends, or just enjoyed as a colorful accessory.
But stringing beads can be difficult for kids who haven't yet mastered some of those necessary fine motor skills. We’ve come up with a way to help the littlest of crafters join in the fun and make handmade beaded bracelets.
This is a simple pinecone craft that both adults and kids will enjoy. If you want to add a simplistic yet beautiful turkey to your fall decor, look no further than this easy pine cone turkey made with synthetic fall leaves.
Art supplies are the number one gift you can give to kids. Not only are they fun for the kids, but they’re beneficial and often lead to time away from screens and more time connected to friends and family.
In this video we review many different types and brands of crayons showing you their pros and cons to help you decide which kind(s) of crayons to invest in for your child’s art center.
