I try to nourish artsy-craftsy inclinations in my grandkids. We always have great fun! The product is not as essential as the good time. Here are some of this weekend’s efforts
Wreath made with plastic flowers from the bin store. I still hope to hot glue seashells is to make a creamy, rich looking wreath. 
Aqua paint to help with the right shade. I had failed to mix just the right color, so I finally just ordered from Amazon. 
Found a frame! This lovely Post card-sized painting made by Asher in summer of ‘22. The gold frame was in a box of random unused stuff. It picks up the color in the grass and really provide a finish. 
Dean’s glitter wreath
Jack’s toy collage wreath
I promise, we had glitter everywhere. This work by Jack gave him such joy! He gleefully glued and glittered to his heart’s content. If you can’t make a mess in the basement, where, then? 
Basement essential! The mosquitos are ruthless and bloodthirsty this fall. How can they be so thick in December? They sneak in every time we step out to wash paintbrushes. 
Little black stool, will be my temp nightstand. I squirted Aqua, green, and white directly on the surface, then used a crumpled grocery bag to distribute the paint.
