Art at Home?

This Stay at Home Mom thing is coming together better than I feared it would. My latest challenge...art at home. When I was working, I depended on the preschool or my mother to provide them with the hands on art projects. I thought it was a pretty good deal, no mess no fuss. But then R, the more artistic of the two started asking (almost hourly) for art projects. Can we do playdoh, can I draw, where's some paper. Yesterday, they climbed high up in my MILs closet and dug up paints, glitter, feathers and beads. We had a good time with the stuff, and I finally decided that we needed an art bin.

Before today, I had not one crayon in this house, no kids scissors, and believe it or not, no elmers glue. I should have gone to the dollar store for supplies, but no, off to Michael's I went. I was a tad overwhelmed when strolling through the scrapbooking section, but soon found my spot. We got a bucket of playdoh (I need a recipe for my own), big box of crayons with sharpener, paint brushes, watercolors, two types of glue (who knew there were some many different types), scissors, and a variety of paper.

Before you know it, I'll be posting pictures of my kids art and maybe even saving some of it. I'll need a display wall to show off my offsprings talent. More house projects for my poor husband.
