Gli acquerelli sono uno degli strumenti creativi più versatili e forse anche per questo, unitamente all’effetto strabiliante, piacciono moltissimo ai bambini. In casa non mancano mai (o non dovrebbero mancare), e la bella notizia è che si possono sfruttare non solo per colorare normalmente i disegni, ma anche per creare differenti opere d’arte, per giocare in maniera sensoriale e per provare esperimenti divertenti. 8 modi per giocare con gli acquerelli: dal puntinismo con i cotton fioc all’esperimento dei cristalli di neve, ecco i modi per sfruttare appieno e in maniera differente gli acquerelli che tutti abbiamo in casa - Partiamo con le tecniche più semplici e più tradizionali, sempre però con un tocco in più. Con gli acquerelli una delle cose più divertenti da fare è creare semplici macchie di colore cangiante, poiché l’acqua permette di dare sfumature naturali senza sforzo. Dopo aver disegnato quindi cerchi di colori diversi e sfumature diverse, lasciamo che i bambini interpretino queste macchie come se fossero dei fiori da completare con un pennarello nero! (Art is Basic) - Acquerelli e cannuccia: accoppiata vincente. Disegniamo una bella testa o un viso e coloriamo con gli acquerelli i capelli. Immediatamente, prendiamo una cannuccia e soffiamo sul colore: si creeranno linee bellissime e incredibili! (Pinterest) - Con la stessa tecnica sono bellissime da fare le meduse: macchia di colore, cannuccia e pennarello ed è fatta! (Crafternoon Playdate) - Un altro strumento che si può accostare agli acquerelli per sperimentare molte tecniche è il contagocce, che permette non solo di realizzare opere d’arte magnifiche ma anche di stimolare e allenare la manualità fine. Leggete il nostro articolo dedicato al contagocce e agli acquerelli per trovare altri spunti! - Per avvicinare i bambini alla storia dell’arte possiamo proporre strumenti che gli mostrino la bellezza delle diverse tecniche: utilizzando, ad esempio, i cotton fioc per disegnare con gli acquerelli, potremo introdurre loro al puntinismo di Seurat e compagni, in maniera divertente e concreta. (Artful parent) - Ora che si avvicina l’inverno, avete già provato l’esperimento dei cristalli di neve? Acqua, sale di Epsom e acquerelli stanno alla base di questa prova scientifica che affascinerà moltissimo i bambini. - Infine, la combinazione acquerelli-bolle: basta versare in una ciotola dell’acqua mischiata a del sapone liquido e colorarla leggermente con delle gocce di acquerelli (le possiamo fare cadere dalla punta del pennello). Dopodiché con una cannuccia si creano le bolle, soffiando, e appoggiando il foglio alla schiuma si otterranno bellissimi disegni e forme creative. (Kids Kubby) Giulia Mandrino

Want to make a handmade gift but don't have months to work on it? Whip up one of these hand-embroidered cuties! Each one takes less than an hour to stitch up and the results are so sweet. Each little kitty has loads of personality and is easy and fun to stitch. This listing includes patterns for all four cats shown - plus two additional cats. There's a complete color and stitch guide for the cats shown on the patter cover, or you can customize the colors to look like your own cat. :-) Make one for a friend - and one for yourself! The images are small enough to frame in pendants - wear your best friend with you wherever you go. :-) They also frame up well in a 3" wooden hoop (seen in the second photo). Or you can enlarge any of the patterns to stitch on T-shirts, blankets, tote bags, and more! You've never embroidered a single stitch before? No worries. The pattern only uses the most basic stitches, and it has links to free video tutorials to teach you how to do them. I teach these stitches to kids as young as six - I promise anyone can learn them. :-) You'll receive a link to download your pattern as soon as payment is received. Delivery at the speed of light!

Mr Sun has had a son. Of sorts. Created by my son, sorta. About a week ago the boys and I created a woven sun out of a vintage bowl, some twigs, and strips of vintage fabric. My youngest enjoyed the process so much that he's been asking to do it again. When he told me he wants to make some to sell so he can earn money to go on vacation, well, how could I say no? I mean, kindergarten can be really tough on a guy, so he definitely needs a vacation, right? Funny guy. I painted the face based on a drawing he did and assembled the piece from some twigs and an oak branch but Avery chose the fabrics and did the weaving. My kids know that I make and sell my work so I'm sure it's not a big leap for him to think of doing the same, but I have to tell you, his hands-on approach and can-do attitude made me pretty proud. So, I've put the sun in my shop. It's been signed by both of us but Avery will get the money, should it sell, to put in his vacation fund. I'm not sure where he's headed, but I hope he takes me along too.
