My favorite crafts are ridiculously simple and encourage imagination. In the past I've shamelessly promoted foil sculptures, toilet paper maracas, even a block of ICE. Now I'm here to present the latest easiest art project ever: The Stickman. We did this one at The NY Botanical Garden yesterday. They always have the best projects. Owen decided to complicate things by making his a Three Eyed Stickman. Odd yet wonderful. I like it.
What are your kid's favorite super easy activities? Coloring in a coloring book? Paper Airplanes? Cartwheels?

ha! last night my two year old had a blast "baking a cake," i mean, playing with baking soda. it's finer than sand and it's a natural cleaning agent too. our kitchen table has never been so clean.
ReplyDeleteMaking a paper airplane out of the church program SAVES us at least half the time on Sundays. :) Thankfully, T is old enough to know not to send it sailing in the middle of the service. Also, give my kids a chair to stand on and the kitchen sink and they are happy for ages!
ReplyDeleteThere is a delightful Norwegian children's film called Knerten from 2010 that won some awards. It's based on a well known story in Norway about a stick man that comes to life. Only the boy who made him can see and hear him. Very sweet - saw it at TIFF Kids (Toronto int'l Film Festival for kids movies).
ReplyDeleteThis craft reminded me of that movie!
What wonderful ideas!!!
