Art

Ollie loves to do art. I'm always on the lookout for fun, easy, and cheap art projects for a pre-school age kid. I saw this one in an art book and it looked like a lot of fun. What we did was take some grape vines, put them in brown playdough, and then decorated them. Ollie had a lot of fun. He really thought we were trying to grow grape trees. I had to throw them out when he wasn't looking because I was sick of trying to explain that we made them just for the fun of decorating them and NOTHING was going to grow.



A close up of our trees. The ones in the book looked a lot cutier, but Ollie had fun cutting out the felt and decorating the tree.



Side note- We used to have a lot of fun different colors of playdough. Ollie has since mixed it all together and we now have tons of brown playdough. At first I tried to explain to him that it was more fun to have different colors but he is convinced that mixing them together is the "best way". He loves his brown playdough and hasn't asked for any more of different colors. :)
