I'm not an artist - so trust me - if I can make this painting, it has to be pretty easy! I HAD to try this art project just because it's fun. And cool. And sciency. (My browser is telling me that's not a real word... haha) This salt and watercolor snowflake art project actually teaches you something, and I LOVE that! I'll be the first person to raise my hand and admit, 'I can't draw or paint'. And trying to make me do either of those two things will make me want to hide my head in embarrassment. (I'm

Work plans are used in the classroom as a tool to help the children explore all areas of the classroom. It also encourages them to choose more than a few works that are out of their comfort zone within the three hour work cycle. The work plan I have designed is only to be used for children four years and older (four and a half in most cases). Now, I have been opposed to work plans in the past, for I feel that the child should be left to their own devises to explore and stay with work for extended periods of time. The time that they spend on one work for two hours is just as valuable as the 8+ works that they complete in that same time. I always reward the children if this is the case either with a special responsibility/or project that encompasses one or two areas of the classroom. Sometimes I will reward them with a lesson. And i never tell them that it is a reward. Because their completion of their own work is it's own reward. Here is a link to the work plan. Print it on card stock, in color ink, cut them out and laminate. To personalize, write the child's name on the laminated card in sharpie (I do this to reuse them). Also, block out the days that the child is not present with a sharpie. I use a wet erase pen to place stars in the grid after the children have completed the work.

Each month as a Lowes Creative Ideas Blogger, I am given various DIY challenges to complete. For the month of June, I chose to take on the challenge of creating "rope decor". In the past, I have made jute napkin rings, jute wrapped lampshades, and rope nests, so I knew from previous experience that working with rope is fairly simple and fun. For this project, I was inspired by an image I saw in the summer Pottery Barn Teen catalog of a dream sign made out of rope. How fun! I chose to make rope word art for our dining room to celebrate the beginning of summer. The great thing about this project is that it can be customized to fit your choice of word. I think it would be cute to create a child's name in rope for their bedroom or a birthday.
