Bubble wrap printing happened today! See my stories of Kindergarten in action. They loved it! Heard from one of my students as they rubbed the paper on the bubble wrap...”This is so satisfying!” 😄 . . . . . . #elementaryart #teachersofinstagram #elementaryteacher #artroom #artteachersofinstagram #artteacher #artproject #childhoodunplugged #littleartist #creativetable #processart #kidbloggersofig #kidsart #printmaking #bubblewrap

Eight Days of Eggs Day 8! Crayon Resist! This one is one of my favorite methods and it’s perfect for all ages. I grew up making eggs this way with my sisters well into adolescence! Just draw on your boiled egg with crayons before dying them. The oily crayon will resist the liquid and remain visible. Kids will think it’s magic if you try this with a white crayon! And that’s a wrap on Eight Days of Eggs! Thanks for following along! . . . . . . #toddlerart #creativekids #creativelife #childhoodunplugged #kidscrafts #littleartist #creativetable #artprompt #invitationtocreate #processart #kidbloggersofig #rockinartmoms #kidsart #toddlermom #kidscrafts101 #eastercrafts #crayonresist #hop_fest #eastereggs #spring #eastereggdecorating #eggdecorating #ontheblog #springactivities #kidsactivities #getcreativewith #tagfromtheheart #hop_fest #oursensoryeaster #the12weeksofspring #artgardeneggs

Anyone tired of my daily egg posts yet?! 🤪 Bear with me...Easter is almost here! Here is another one but it is not part of my Eight Days of Eggs...these are chalk print eggs we did using my FREE template on the blog. This fun process was introduced to me by Arielle from @artcampla and I’ve been hooked ever since. We used this process to make these fun speckled eggs! Head over to the link in my profile for the free template. Be sure to print on cardstock if you give this method a try! . . . . . . #toddlerart #creativekids #childhoodunplugged #kidscrafts #littleartist #creativetable #artprompt #invitationtocreate #processart #kidbloggersofig #rockinartmoms #kidsart #toddlermom #kidscrafts101 #eastercrafts #chalkprint #hop_fest #eastereggs #spring #chalk #eastereggdecorating #eggdecorating #ontheblog #springactivities #kidsactivities #getcreativewith #tagfromtheheart #hop_fest #oursensoryeaster #the12weeksofspring @redtedart @resolvetoplay @littliesactivities #artgardeneggs

Eight Days of Eggs Day 7: Galaxy Eggs! Another dye free option! We painted some more wooden @target eggs with a variety of blues, black, and purple and splattered them with a little white and gold paint. We finished them by adding some star stickers! #artgardeneggs . . . . . . #toddlerart #creativekids #childhoodunplugged #kidscrafts #littleartist #creativetable #artprompt #invitationtocreate #processart #kidbloggersofig #rockinartmoms #kidsart #toddlermom #kidscrafts101 #eastercrafts #washitape #hop_fest #eastereggs #spring #eastereggdecorating #eggdecorating #ontheblog #springactivities #kidsactivities #getcreativewith #tagfromtheheart #hop_fest #oursensoryeaster #the12weeksofspring @redtedart @resolvetoplay @littliesactivities #paaseggcontest2019
