Thisweek’s kid craft is all about letting the light shine through. The kids and Iwere looking for a fun way to really show some seasonal spirit and bring somecolor into the house. After raiding my cabinets I discovered that (1) I neededto go shopping for more tissue paper and (2) I had a lot of coffee filters onhand. So shock among shocks… we used coffee filters for this project.
Thiscraft can get a little messy, which we are okay with because I am a firmbeliever that children should be able to get messy and have fun when it comesto art projects (that have parental supervision- because crayons on my walls donot make for a happy mommy). We painted the coffee filters, let them dry, cutsome of them into fun shapes, and attached them to the windows.
The finished product consists of bright andcheerful pieces of my children’s handiwork that I love to look at, and I hopemy neighbors are enjoying them too. I was a little worried about the artworkbleeding onto my nice new curtains, so we placed them on windows that did nothave curtains that could be damaged –I would much rather be safe than sorry.This was a fun indoor activity that we will definitely do again. I foresee thisbeing the perfect way to get some cheap and easy holiday décor in my home.
What you need:How to do it:
Toremove the coffee filter artwork use soap and warm water.
Thecleanup was really easy and the artwork came off without problem (I was alittle worried). My rule of thumb when it comes to art supplies is as long asit is washable we will give it a try. Completing this activity was just as easyas any other painting activity we have done previously. The kids really likedletting their imaginations run wild and I had fun seeing what they came upwith.
Just out of curiosity, are there any artsupplies that are on your no-no list?
