If you are looking for more awesome ideas to do- You have GOT TO TRY THIS watercolor hack. and HOT ROCKS is literally the most satisfying thing ever.

Supplies you need or Salt Art

glue

table salt

cardstock

watercolor (or food coloring mixed with water)

paintbrush or eyedropper

cookie sheet- totally optional but keeps the salt from making a huge mess

How to make Salt Painting

Draw a pretty picture with glue! Don't be too crazy with it- It will take forever to dry. If you need help trying to figure out what to draw- check out my drawing prompts.

After you are done, sprinkle salt over the whole glue design!

Okay- here was a mistake. I let the salt sit and it expanded! Once you sprinkle the salt on, make sure to get the access off right away!

Then let dry!

I tried it out on black paper as well and it worked the same! Once it dries you just get watercolor or a food coloring mixed with water and a paintbrush to add the color with (You could use an eyedropper as well!)

Load up color and water. When you touch the salt- the paint spreads like magic. It's so cool to watch!

Here are some finished products!

Surprise Rainbow Activity for Kids
Here is what you will need for both activities:
Watch the Full Video Tutorial Here

How to do a Surprise Rainbow Activity

For this activity you will need 1 sheet of paper towel you can fold in half. Washable markers, a black permanent marker and a dish or bowl with water.
Activity 1: Paper Towel You Drop in Water
1. First, fold over 1 sheet of paper towel.

2. Start by drawing lines for a rainbow with the black permanent marker. You need permanent marker so that the black marker will not bleed.

You want to press hard or go over the lines a few times so that it bleeds through to the second layer of the paper towel.

3. On the bottom layer, start coloring in your rainbow with washable markers. You need washable markers here so that it will bleed through to the top layer.

4. Keep adding all of the colors to the bottom layer.

5. Now it is ready to drop in water! Add some water into a dish or bowl. Then drop it into the water and watch the magic! Your rainbow will appear before your eyes.

For this activity you will need 2 sheets of paper towel, washable markers, a black permanent marker and a dropper with water.

1. Get 2 sheets of paper towel and fold them over together.

2. Draw a rainbow with washable markers on the top sheet. You want to make sure you press hard and fill it in with color because this is what will bleed through for the surprise color.
Activity 2: Use a dropper to reveal a hidden rainbow
3. Use a black sharpie to draw on top of the washable marker color.

4. Keep adding the black sharpie until your rainbow is fully covered.

5. Now your activity is ready! Use a dropper to add the water to the paper towel to reveal the rainbow underneath.

6. Keep adding water with the dropper until all of the colors have come out. You will be left with a surprise rainbow!

We love how easy these 2 activities are to make for kids. Which one is your favorite?

We are in love with these origami transforming paper stars. This gem of a project combines math, art and paper engineering.

I'll be totally honest, it's not the easiest project for very little ones, but if your child can fold a paper airplane (which is the perfect STEM play date, by the way!) then he or she can make the transforming ninja star. It's a good math art project when you have some one on one time with your older child. Alternatively, you can make them yourself and if your younger children are old enough that they won't rip the completed project, you can show them how to play with it. (Note: this post contains affiliate links.)

Bonus: the completed project looks so complicated that you can fool people into thinking you are an origami ninja. And isn't that what we all want in life?

How to make transforming paper stars
What you need: Instructions:
You can also see the technique in action in the video below.
First make 8 parallelograms:
1. Fold paper in half. Open and repeat fold so white side of paper is showing.

2. With paper oriented vertically, and open side on the right, bring bottom left corner to right hand edge. Crease well. ( Note: I like to also crease this same fold on the alternate side. It is not strictly necessary but it makes the final fold easier.)

3. Open paper with colored side facing down.

4. Fold top two corners to middle crease. Crease well.

5. Fold paper in half ( repeating step 1).

6. Push the center of the bottom edge up. The creases you made in step 2 will collapse between the sides.

7. The resulting shape will be a parallelogram.

8. Make 8 of these.
How to make the star:
1. You will now connect all 8 parallelograms.

2. Orient two parallelograms so the the "pocket" in which you see the interior color is on the right.

3. Insert one parallelogram into the pocket of the first.

4. Fold down the tips of the first parallelogram inside the pocket of the second.

5. Insert a third parallelogram into the pocket of the second.

6. Fold down the tips of the second parallelogram into the third.

7. Repeat until you have 2 left.

8. The last part is the trickiest. Slip the pocket of the seventh parallelogram around the point of the first. Then put the pocket of the eighth around the point of the seventh. The point of the eighth parallelogram will be in the pocket of the sixth. Fold all the tips down.
How to transform the star:
Push and pull the sides and watch it transform from an octagon to a star!

Interested in making Coffee Filter Art?

Here are Steps #1-6 that go into exact detail on how you can make them for great projects. We've enjoyed making Peacock and Turkey feathers with this technique.

Supplies for Coffee Filter Art:

Steps 1- 6 for Coffee Filter Art

Step 1

Color your coffee filter. You can color it in blotches, stripes, or patterns. You only need to color half of it because all of the colors will blend together. See a variety of different ways to color coffee filters and their final outcome.

Step 2

Lay out your newspaper and put on your gloves.

Step 3

Fold your filter in half and half again, until it looks like a piece of pie.

Step 4

Parent / Teacher supervision for this part: Turn on your water faucet. Just the tip of the filter needs to get wet. The water will absorb through the end.

For a fun twist on traditional sidewalk chalk, try this sidewalk chalk paint recipe. Kids will love creating art on the sidewalk with these paints. You can easily paint pictures, write words or even design your own painted obstacle course with these paints!
RELATED: Puffy Sidewalk Paint
DIY Sidewalk Chalk Paint

This sidewalk chalk paint will make one muffin cup of paint. If you want to fill your muffin tin you will need to repeat the recipe for each color.

You can also double or triple the recipe and make a larger batch and then split it into smaller containers and add the sidewalk chalk in last to save time.

Supplies Needed To Make Sidewalk Chalk Paint

Corn Starch

Water

Sidewalk Chalk - the leftover remnants of old chalk are perfect for this!

Muffin Tin

Paintbrushes

Measuring Cup

This recipe will make one color to fill a muffin cup. If you want to fill the whole muffin tin, you need to repeat this recipe for each color.
Notes on Staining:
One of the reasons why we make all of our sidewalk paint recipes with sidewalk chalk is that it is much easier to clean than using food coloring or washable paint. We have tested both ways and using sidewalk chalk has never given us an issue to wash off. It's also a great way to use up small pieces of leftover chalk too!

Tips: We suggest you have a high pressure spray hose ready to rinse off when you're done. Do not leave it sitting out in the hot sun for too long. We suggest testing the sidewalk chalk paint in an inconspicuous area and then try washing it away with water.

A note about sidewalk chalk: Sidewalk chalk is designed to be washable but can sometimes stain newer driveways or sidewalks if the surface still has open surface pores in the concrete which can absorb the colorants. Always read the packaging of the sidewalk chalk you purchase.

How long does the sidewalk chalk paint last?

We recommend you use the paint the same day that it is made. The cornstarch will start to settle at the bottom of the muffin tin and harden if not used right away. If this does happen, use a spoon to mix it up again.

Clean-up Tips

Clean-up time! When you are finished, simply spray it down with a garden hose on the highest pressure setting. We recommend you spray while the paint is still wet and do not let it dry in the sun. If this happens, get a brush broom to help scrub some of the paint off while spraying with water.

If you are still having difficulty cleaning up, wet the paint and wait 5 minutes. Then spray the area with the highest pressure setting on your nozzle and as close to the paint as possible on a slight angle.

Watch the full video tutorial here before you get started!

How To Make Sidewalk Chalk Paint

Kids will love helping you make this sidewalk chalk paint!

Sidewalk Chalk Paint

Note - if you find the paint to be too thick, add a little more water to each cup (about 1 tablespoon) and mix it in. The consistency should be watery so that you can paint with it. If it is too thick then the paint will go on clumpy.

If you are interested in trying a store-bought sidewalk paint, we recommend this kind by Crayola.

Painting with only Dots (Pointillism)                            

# data[].attributes.body
French painter Georges Seurat. His favorite painting technique was called POINTILLISM.
POINTILLISM is when you put tiny dots of colors together, repeatedly, till it fills an entire area or space.  So rather than the painter mixing up these dots of paint, your brain mixes it up so your eyes see it as a single picture rather than a combination of dos.  Try to create a painting in the style of Georges Seurat. Make a national monument (Arch is one), a landscape, a favorite character, or your own idea.

Materials needed...
- Q-tips, the back of a pencil, or any  thing that makes a smaller circle and ink pad or paints OR
- markers (the smaller the markre the tinier the dot the more dots you need to make-so make a small picture with skinny marker
- paper
- a pencil to lightly draw out an idea.
Remember only dots of paint/ or dots of markers, no lines.

Land Art, sometimes called Earth Art or Environmental Art is created outdoors, in the landscape. Artists use only natural materials such as leaves, sticks, rocks, and flowers to create temporary art. Land Art comes in many shapes and sizes.

-Watch the video about Andy Goldsworthy (below)
- Explore an outdoor area with a grown up... what shapes, colors, forms, and textures do you see?
-Collect things that are interesting to you
-Make a collage or a sculpture (don't forget to take a picture or make a drawing of your work)

It's hard to believe we are not going back in person, but please keep learning, growing and creating!  Try some things you never thought about, or that scare you a little cause you think it will be too hard.  Keep stoping by and trying new ways to make art or just be creative awhile!
The best way to contact me is by school email, or text the number I contacted you from :).

We started stop motion and were stuck because we could not access the app.  Well, if you can (with parents permission) download the app Stop Motion Studio.
Stop Motion Studio is the most popular stop-motion app out there.
The free version works just fine!
Use objects around the house, or toys, or draw and cut out collage like we started in classes.
Be sure to share your video with me!
