Earth Day Painting Craft
There’s nothing like a last minute Earth Day craft, right?
I saw this gorgeous stained glass painting on Happy Hooligans a few weeks ago, and immediately knew I wanted to make an Earth with it. The boys love painting, and I love pretty decorate crafts
I put out some blue and green paint, the wax paper, and our new fun brushes and pretty much just let it be. I was hoping to leave the first part a bit open-ended for them.
Sure enough, they took the bait! They painted all over using the different colors, and mixed them together a bit at the end. We ended up with a really pretty assortment of blues and greens.
After they were done painting I gave them the bottle caps and let them explore. On Happy Hooligans they twisted the bottle caps, but my boys went a different direction by sliding the bottle caps along the paper.
I really like how the sliding made the colors mix together a bit more.
After they were dry we cut them out in circles and added some black trim.
I love how they look with the sun shining through!!
