Lately, I've been encouraging Ava to explore her creative side by doing more arts and crafts. She is also improving her fine motor skills. We have been having a lot of fun together.

She is getting better with scissors, but I still need to help her.

I love the snowman's face. Ava made him really happy.
I found this great idea for vegetable art in Family Fun magazine. In the magazine they used celery, but we expanded the idea. We used celery, bok choy, & lettuce. Basically you cut off the leaves or stalks and use the base to paint with. They used it to make beautiful flower cards.

By the end Ava had painted one of her hands yellow. She thought it was funny.
Here are the finished products. The top 2 pictures are Rich's. Mine is on the bottom left and Ava's is on the bottom right.

What a fun thing to do as a family!
I love Family Fun-I have bok choy and celery in my fridge to do this project with daycare kiddo's. We are going to do the cute felt mice made from heart shapes tomorrow.
Your paintings turned out beautiful.
What a fun idea. We do a lot of crafts around here so it is really fun to see your ideas. Our next craft activity is making snow globes from baby food jars. I hope they don't leak.
