Samuel's First Art Show

There was a Kids' Art Show that was open to all the military kids in the area so I encouraged the boys to create a few things. Benjamin didn't end up entering anything in the fair. But Samuel loves to do "projects" and create things.

So, he entered a butterfly which was created out of a coffee filter and a clothes pin. And he also entered one of his marble paintings.

We did a bunch of marble painting a month or so ago and he loved it! We just took a cardboard mailing tube and put a sheet of white paper in there then dipped marbles in paint and placed the marbles in the tube. He loved shaking that tube all over the place and revealing the patterns the marbles created as he opened to tube. We also did some marble paintings with placing the paper in an empty plastic baby wipes container.

So, the art work was on display for a few weeks and then there was a Kids Fair with things for the kids to do. We were a little late for the fair due to the fact that Benjamin's first soccer game was the same night but the kids enjoyed it nonetheless.
