Paint chips cutout portraits. ✨ We made these portraits this long weekend with paint chips, construction paper, googly eyes and floor samples. I was so happy to have my niece Isabella join me to make these creations to kickstart this week of guest hosting the @smocks.on challenge. 🙂 The theme we picked is PORTRAITS! I've always been fascinated with kids' portrait art and I can't wait to try different techniques to make portraits together with Lennon. The possibilities are endless!

#Safari #Creature #Footprint #Painting 👣🐅🦁👣 We got our #smockson (took off all clothes) for some #bathtub (#nostressmess) painting inspired by this weeks @smocks.on challenge (jungle art). We took turns walking the creatures through the paint and then on the paper-we even let the creatures take walks on our legs, arms and faces! My little one decided that the animals shouldn't be the only ones who get to walk in paint, so we both stepped in the paint to make some footprints of our own 👣 We love bathtub painting so much! It allows for full throttle engagement with the materials without the stress off dirtying our apartment and with super easy cleanup for all the materials used (yes, that includes the toddler!) Clean up takes less than 5 minutes! If you haven't tried it yet, give it a try! You can do this with infants starting at 6 months (with support) My little one started #bathtubpainting when she was 9 months old. She quickly learned that it was okay to paint on the bathtub walls, her body and the paper without being confused about slightly more contained painting when out of the tub. We use #colorationsfingerpaint from @discountschoolsupply 🎨 the colors are super vibrant, wash off like a dream, and non toxic. #sensoryplay #ourmateriallife #themateriallife #regioinspired #letthemplay #messyplayisthebestplay #messyplay #messyart #processoverproduct #processart @emjpictures #osk_bathtub @oursensorykids #montessorichallenge

#Rainbow #IcePainting Felt like this pic needed it's own post-I mean how cool does that look?! We made these by mixing @discountschoolsupply liquid water colors and water then froze them in ice trays. Once frozen, they slip across the table, leaving vibrant, watery streaks across the paper! #themateriallife #ourmateriallife #happyexploring 🤓 #iceicebaby #brrrr #beattheheat #painttherainbow #roygbiv @smocks.on #smockson @thatminimalistteacher #theminimalistteacher #thekidsplay #52weeksofplay @52weeksofplay

#Stamping with #Shapes 🔲🔺🔘 We decided to jump on in with this weeks @smocks.on challenge and add #shape stamps to our #rainbow #saranwrappainting! My little one was so into it that she began stamping on the paper when I removed the wooden painting to dry. I can't decide which I love more! We will definitely be exploring with shapes some more! #ourmateriallife #themateriallife #smockson #collaborativeart #processart #colora #motherdaughterbonding #qualitytime #toddlers @teach.investigate.play #thatminimalistteacher @thatminimalistteacher
