Fish Prints!

My son has found a love of fishing this summer. I do not share the same desire but I appreciate his interest and have decided to encourage his exploration of the subject through art. Our last visit to the library we found some fish books. Jangles: A Big Fish Story by David Shannon is a wonderful tale of the big fish that gets away over and over again. David Shannon illustrates in a magical way that only he can. Yesterday after we read the book I pulled out my rubber fish and we did a few fish prints on t-shirts. Then we fish printed paper, scraps of cloth and just about anything that we could :)  Another great fishing book for inspiration is H is for Hook: An Alphabet Fish Book by Judy Young

Happy 4th of July....

Some coffee filter art for the holiday.....

Have a wonderful long weekend!

Dinosaur Days

Today was a Dino Day! I found fun little excavation kits with little tools included. The kids worked on digging and brushing out tiny bones. Then I took a bag of rubber fossils that I bought and put them around the yard for the kids to search for. After all of that we needed a snack and book. So I read the book Dig Those Dinosaurs by Lori Haskins. 
Happy Summer!
