This inspired Donovan (age 6), and I, to do some chalk paintings. You might think that long thing there might look like a crack, but no...that is some serious lightening that has helped to form our rainbow! Hehehe.
Here are a couple of close up's of our St. Patty's Day tree...the paper flower I made from a white coffee filter and green watercolor brushed on outer edges of the flower. We added birds (from the dollar store), a shamrock necklace Donovan brought home from school, a shamrock made of green yarn and gold glitter, a few love notes from Donovan, and some shamrock package wire wrap, some sprays of shamrock flowers (dollar store), plus the paper shamrock we made from a toilet paper roll. As time has gotten closer, we have added more and more (a lot of which has been sent home from school with the boy)! It has been fun to watch it all come together for him. Of course, our cute woven paper basket with rainbows, and filled with gold is sitting under the tree, too.
Here is the pic I printed out to use as our guide to draw our chalk Leprechaun!

The shamrocks are lovely and timely! HIs artwork is too cute for words ;)
ReplyDeleteToo cute! Donavan's turning into quite the artist (wonder who he gets that from) and I love that you're keeping your tree going!
ReplyDeleteYou all really go out for St Patty's and everything looks so nice and green. Donovan is becoming quite the artist! Maybe you should teach him to keep a journal of all the fun things you do.
ReplyDeleteLeprechauns and clovers, how lucky! Happy St. Patrick's Day.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute stuff as always! You would make a really great preschool teacher Julie. Probably doesn't pay as well as nursing--but my gosh you're gifted with grand kids!
ReplyDeleteThe shamrocks look lovely and Donovan's art is Superb!!! Loved it:))
ReplyDeleteYou are just having too much fun with Donovan. Ilove seeing the shamrocks. I will have to see if any are in our garden. Some might have thawed out enough to show themselves.
ReplyDeleteThe shamrocks are pretty, such lovely shapes and green. HCM my friend, have a lovely week.
