Hello! I'm Lisa, former elementary and intermediate art teacher, turned stay at home mom to my two girls, ages 3 and 5. I live in Birmingham, Alabama and strive to spend my time with my children immersed in art, nature, play, books, music, cooking, and anything that sparks imagination and creativity.

It’s December so we are kicking off this holiday month with these EASY marbled ornaments. I’ve been wanting to try these with my girls for a while and finally did last week. My sis made these years ago and shared her easy steps with me. You only need two items! * Clear ornaments * Acrylic paint How to: Remove the cap, squirt in a few colors of your paint, and then tilt the ornament and move it around until the paint has covered all areas. Put the ornament upside down in a cup or egg carton to let the excess drip out and dry. That’s it! On another note, have you seen today’s #craftmas posts?! They are so clever and fun! Give that hashtag a peek and be sure to follow it to see who is posting tomorrow and for more holiday ideas shared by the Craftmas Crew! . . . . . #holidaycrafts #christmas #christmasdecor #ornament #craftsforkids #crafts #creativekids #kidscrafts101 #invitationtocreate #creativetable #artideas #bloggersofinstagram #christmasornaments #marbledornaments

I discussed cool colors with my 1st graders today and they made some gorgeous paintings with one of my favorite go-to processes: liquid watercolor and coarse salt 😍😍😍. We will be using this paper later for some wintery landscapes so stay tuned! . . . . . . #elementaryart #elementaryteacher #artteachersofinstagram #artteacher #collage #1stgradeart #liquidwatercolor #watercolor #artproject #mixedmedia #coolcolors #colortheory #creativekids #creativelife #childhoodunplugged #kidscrafts #littleartist #creativetable #processart #kidbloggersofig #kidsart #winterart

Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends! We started these peg doll turkeys earlier this week but just finished them up this morning as we watched the #macysthanksgivingdayparade. We painted our peg dolls with @colorations.artoflearning tempera, added some drawing detail with @sharpie, and glued a felt beak and feathers on with some hot glue. Such cute little turkeys! . . . . . #toddlermom #holidaycrafts #thanksgiving #turkeycraft #artactivitiesforkids #crafts #invitationtocreate #toddlerplay #invitationtoplay #feathers #kidsart #pegdolls #playideas #kidscrafts101 #getcreativewith #fallcrafts #tagfromtheheart
