I haven't done anything with the filters yet but I'm sure they would make good butterflies or something!</p> <p>Magazine collages.

I think Sadie would like that. She loves sticking up her foam letters in the tub. </p> <p>One of my favorite activities we've done is painting with shaving cream. It turned out super cool, and wasn't very messy at all. You just fill a baking dish with shaving cream, squirt in paint, then let your LO swirl it around with a plastic fork (Sadie really liked this, because she got to manipulate the paint without getting dirty :silly: ). Dip a sheet of paper in the shaving cream, then use a spatula to squeegee it off of the paper. You can add more colors or mix the paint a different way to get different prints. </p> [attach=1879/14/ncs2na.545x206.DSC_4263.jpg] [attach=1879/14/ncs2nc.545x274.DSC_4288.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/indoor-craftart-ideas#post-1884403 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 12:51:19 +0000 mediagirl 1884403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Smurfette mentioned painting ideas on the art post so I thought I'd start one about indoor craft and art ideas. We're headed towards cooler/indoor weather so it's a great time to think about indoor activities. </p> <p>This is an idea I picked up from our local kids museum. Tape a plastic tarp to the bottom of a sliding glass door or french doors (if you have them) and spread it out so your child is standing on it. Give you child a table with water cups, paint brushes and a bowl or cup of foam shapes/letters/creatures/whatever. Have them "paint" the door and then stick the foam items to the door. It's art that is easy to set-up and clean-up.</p> <p>The kids museum did this using an art easel like this one - <a href="http://bit.ly/1nM6xO0" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/1nM6xO0</a> </p>
