Kids Crafts 101 Winners!

I LOVE the creative children’s community on Instagram, finding people both friendly and inspiring!

This week, along with @mielaerkerasmussen (who has many amazing activities!), I had the privilege of guest hosting @kidscrafts101. This initiative, moderated by http://www.redtedart.com/& @incredibusy, is a great way to connect and share many forms of creativity. The only thing that was difficult about this week was selecting the featured projects- there are just so many wonderful ideas!

From the top, left to right:

1) Check out@makefilmplayfor her stop motion videos!

2) The use of straws are ingenious for printing from@creatingcreatives

3)@handywithscissorsmade these flowers out of plastic bags!!

4) Floating chalk prints from@artcampla(can’t wait to try this!)

5) Design your own spinning top with@thebluebarn

6) Adding lemon juice to watercolour (I haven’t seen this before) from@thea_snv.

7) Self portrait prints from@studio4art: I like the bright backgrounds!

8) A giant tree from@lineandformatelier(I would have definitely been into making this when I was a teacher!)

9) And finally, I love the mix of painted paper and modelling clay on@paintedpaperart’s flowers!

A BIG thank you to everyone for joining in!
