For our toddlers this week, we set up a giant “Sticky Face” wall using ordinary household contact paper and a smorgasbord of colorful do-dads that they could stick on the face. Endless possibilities for good clean, sticky fun! |

The younger kids created decoupage collage portraits of their Dads in Open Studio today! It was amusing to listen to them banter back & forth about their Dads as they deliberated one eyebrow or two… |

We admit that we have a love/hate relationship with papier mache. It’s so bad. But so good. It starts out so easy. But then we have to wad up paper. |

We were giddy about these little piggies our 3-5 yr. old class painted this afternoon! We were sad to see them go to market, and now our walls are bare! Until tomorrow. |

We started these plaster sculptures the other day, and as they were drying they looked so interesting against the backdrop of paintings from an earlier class. We’ll let you use your imagination to try to figure out what they’ll be when they’re finished. (No, not penguins. But good guess!) |

If you have kids above the age of four and want to be absolutely amazed and awe-struck at the power of a child’s imagination, simply give them a used cardboard box, glue, masking tape, and the entire contents of your kitchen junk drawer. |

It’s Fall! My absolute favorite time of year! Even though its still hovering in the high 70′s, in the studio as I write this, we’re enjoying the lingering scent of mulled hot apple cider left over from our Fall Open House this past Saturday, and dreaming of turtlenecks and boots, and the cool, crisp weather and good hair days that we know are right around the corner! |
