DIY Art Kit for Kids

10 / 16 / 1710 / 31 / 17

DIY Art Kit for Kids | Mama.Papa.Bubba.Oh, the awesomeness that is the annual ‘cousins’ birthday’…  A few years back, my sister-in-law and I came up with a plan that allowed us to celebrate all of our kiddos’ birthdays in person, despite living in different provinces {or on different sides of the world}.  With all 5 of our kiddos having birthdays between July and November, we simply decided we’d do ONE celebration the one time we were guaranteed to be together each year – August long weekend in the Okanagan – and make it an official celebration of everyone!  And that’s what we’ve done ever since.  It’s super low-key…  We sing a big ‘happy birthday’ song that includes everyone’s names, each cousin opens a special gift, and then we play or hang out or get on with whatever else we had planned.  It’s something we look forward to each year!

The Dot Inspired Art

The Dot Inspired Art | Mama Papa Bubba{this post contains affiliate links}

When Miss G was gifted The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds last spring, we immediately fell in love.  The story is about a little girl named Vashti whose paper is blank at the end of art class.  After telling her teacher that she ‘just CAN’T draw!’, the teacher uses subtle and clever encouragement to get Vashti to step out of her comfort zone.  Vashti starts by just making a mark, but that one mark ends up becoming something beautiful as Vashti lets go and gains confidence.  In the end, not only does Vashti become a confident artist, but she also helps others who are feeling insecure with their ability to create art.  Pretty awesome storyline, right?

Family Portrait Embroidery Hoop | Mama Papa Bubba

As simple and quick as this project was, Gracen and I had so much fun with it today!  It only required 5 materials and took us around 20 minutes from start to finish, but gosh I love our new family portrait embroidery hoop.  I may be a little bit biased, but I think it’s just adorable and it makes for a fun way to display some of Miss G’s never-ending artwork, which I love.

Paper Strip Handprint Art | Mama Papa Bubba

While we’re all set up in our new place with the day-to-day essentials, we’re still working on making our house feel like home.  So far, Gracen’s room seems to feel the most homey, largely in part to the fact that it’s the only space in the house with anything on the walls.  It’s still a work in progress, but we’ve framed several photos and a couple of my favourite downloadable prints, and we’ve been working on adding a few homemade pieces too.
