Art Day

One of the most memorable events of this past summer was ART DAY!!

We invited 20 kiddos over, bought 5 gallons of tempera paint, fly swatters, balls of different sizes and textures, water balloons, cement mix, stones, gems, shells, large pieces of paper, large sheets of plastic. . . We warned the neighbors. . .

THINGS WERE GOING TO GET MESSY HERE

ART DAY 2012

We started off the day with making stepping stones. . .
Then the kids broke up into groups of 5 or 6 and rotated through 5 stations.

And then the paint began to fly!

Each mom manned (womaned?) a station.  I warned them that they would get as messy as the kids!

We had paint in our hair, paint in the grass, paint on our house, and oops! paint on the neighbors shed.



Hannah, you are much too clean for this party! 
This is the station where they had to create a picture using only circles.



There was also face painting, and spray dying -this is where the house got painted green! (It came off with Mr. Clean Magic eraser)

Water balloons with paint and poked with a pin made for some wonderful abstract painting.

Most of the crew involved.  I couldn't get the moms in a picture.

Isn't she just too cute!

Some butterfly girls at the end of a fun day.

This was so much fun!  We might make it an annual event.  See you next year!
