Since we're not doing the Art 101 series this summer, I've just been randomly putting pictures and art ideas on here. Here's some more ideas; as always, I encourage you to borrow/steal/adapt whatever ideas you can to do with your children. There is a lot of research out on the benefits of art, especially with younger children. Some, okay, most of the pictures are taken on my phone, so you'll have to excuse the quality. It's hard work to juggle a toddler, baby, art project and camera! Enjoy!
