I first heard about Pinterest a couple months ago. Heard it was awesome, but didn't feel like I needed one more thing to be obsessed about on the computer. Then I came across an art blog where the blogger was talking about Pinterest. I decided to check it out and had a friend of mine "invite" me to join. Oh my gosh! This website is awesome!! It's a super easy way to bookmark ANYTHING on the internet into categories so you can remember it and come back to it. I've been addicted to it all week; found new recipes to try, new activities to do with the kids, AND new art projects! I came across THIS Dale Chihuly-inspired art project. I had a completely different project planned for the girls' art journal this week. But once I saw this and how easy it is to make it (shrinky dink paper, permanent markers, and a glue gun!) I scrapped the original project idea and we have spent the last three days working on this: The girls and I actually started this before I showed them images of Chihuly's work. When I finally got around to showing them images they LOVED his stuff! I got all of these images as screen grabs from Google Images. But you can find good information about Dale Chihuly on his website. The girls immediately picked this one (above) to see larger. Then I told them it was on the ceiling in a hotel in Las Vegas and they thought that was sooo cool!The one above was Ella's favorite. I could have have called that, it has her favorite colors of lime green and blue. And Lily really liked the spiky ball below. I could look at Chihuly's work all day long. It's so interesting and beautiful.So we set out to make a sculpture inspired by his work. We each made a larger shape that I planned to use as the base. And then we used the scraps and colored strips to make curlicues. I usually just let the girls do their own thing with my guidance for our projects. But I was sooo excited about this project I had to join in so my piece is below. :-) We cut around some of the shapes hoping they would have a more organic shape after we baked them. We figured out that it worked well to make thin stripes (coloring both sides of opaque white shrinky dink paper) and cut them up. Once baked, they made fun curly pieces. Above: Some random shapes and colors Lily decided to try. :-) To bake them, I used parchment paper on cookie sheets. I figured out quickly it was best to bake only one piece at a time so I could watch it and quickly remove it, mold it if I felt like it and put it aside to cool. The girls obviously didn't really participate in this part. But they loved watching through the oven window to see when the pieces started to curl. Last step--Gluing the sculpture together: Step one: a solid base using the larger pieces. Step 2: Adding the medium/thicker curlicues. Step 3: All the little curlicues left! I let the girls pick out which pieces I should glue next and give me their opinion on where they thought the pieces should go. The FINISHED product! Honestly, this project took forever! Hours! BUT, I LOVED it! The girls liked it a lot and we're all very proud of our masterpiece. They even had to bring it over to Gramma and Grandpa's house tonight to show them they were so proud.

Love the magic of flipbooks? Want to make some with your kids? Interested in trying out a quick STEM activity? Or are you looking for a fun craft to try out his summer? Well, you're here at the right post. Instead of going the typical route and using a lightbox and pencil, here is one super-easy way to make DIY flipbooks with children of all ages. No drawing and tracing are necessary! How to make super easy DIY flipbooks with Kids Note: This post contains affiliate links. This means I make a small bit of change when you purchase items through the links at no additional cost to you. Thank you for your support and the grocery money! For my full disclosure policy, click here. Materials Needed: Dot Stickers Sharpie Markers Index cards or old business cards To make these flipbooks, simply use dot stickers! They are uniform in shape, come in multiple colors, and are easy to stick onto your cards. After planning how you want your dots to "move," place the stickers in slightly different positions on each card to imitate animation. (Remember to leave the left side of your card blank because you'll need to hold that side to flip the cards.) If you want to draw, you can always add details like a face! When you're done with your flipbook, stack all your cards on top of each other and flip away! Make adjustments to your dot placement as necessary. To view a video of our dot flipbooks, check out my IG post! Happy creating!
