Using plastic bottles to make prints

OK, so I got this idea from Pinterest.  I tried to go back and find it again but couldn't.  I guess I must not of pinned it or liked it.  Anyways, we used some different paints to do this: the cornstarch paint I made a few days ago and some finger paints I had laying around.

Here is some red paint I put in the bowl (I had just added some blue paint to make purple).  We dipped the plastic bottle into the paint to make the flowers.  Alex used her finger to paint the middle of the flower because the middle part didn't show up for her.

We made quite a few and had a lot of fun doing it.  Hope you get some cute ideas to do from reading this.

Drawing and Stamps

We have accumulated many stamps throughout the years and every now and then I get them out for Alex (my daughter) to use.  Sometimes she just stamps the paper with no particular order to the paper, but this last time my daughter drew a background picture (the ground and some grass) and then stamped some horses into the picture. Quick and easy fun!

Materials Needed:
Crayons, markers, or colored pencils
Stamps
Paper

There are so many great stamps out there.  I found these transportation stamps on amazon that could easily be used in a picture of a city, lake, or ocean.  I love Melissa and Doug products!
