A Field of Tulips - Hand Art - kindergarten style...

I can't say that it bothers me to get paint on my hands! I love it, and I think the kindergarten kids had a blast too. I am so lucky to be able to come up with art projects for each grade, this one happens to be my son's kindergarten class (80+kids= 80+handprint tulips!).My son's kindergarten teacher, Mrs. S. came up with painting their hands to represent tulips. I think it was a great idea and looks even better in person. 

Starting with the green field field and sky... just wait for the color...

We had a nice assembly line:  Mrs. S. (barefoot) painted the palms of their cute little hands, I held and pressed them on the canvas, the kids painted their own tulip stems and fingerprinted the tulip leaves, then they had help washing their hands...

One class down, 3 more to go! Make a silly face... 

Our tulip field is complete!

Of course... Funny Faces for our tulips... 

(missing 40 + kids-I have yet to post the other 40 of the 80+ kindergarten kids)

Their painting is already hanging in the hall and they will be able to see it next year as they walk to lunch!

Birds... Hand Print Art

You know, it's funny, I was talking to someone the other day (could've been myself, I don't remember), and I don't know when I started doing all of this kid art that's coming out. I guess, I just decided there will be a time when I can do my own "adult" art- but now, I'm plunging in, the time is right for my kids' involvement (I would be concentrating on my own projects and wouldn't pay attention to "anything" in the room) ... and with a few other kids added to the equation...

BIRDIES FOR MOM'S DAY!

Here is another beautiful handprint project(spotted over at the Craft Nest) for Mother's Day that my kids gave to their grandmas!

I'm loving the birds outside chirping this time of year... even my little noisy birdies in my house... that's all year!

Poppy Flowers - Hand Print Art

Mom and Grandma's Day art projects was such a busy paint day for my kid art class! 

Here are the bright and colorful poppies that the kids painted by using their handprints, fingerprints, and a paint brush. 

Doesn't get any easier!

 Beautiful Poppies (6 - 9 years old)

 Pretty Purple Flower (3 years old)

Flowers without the dirty mess, watering, upkeep and dying... 

Hope you all celebrated a wonderful MOTHER'S DAY!

... more hand art to come this week!
