Some of the best gifts are ones that you made yourself. You might remember making Christmas ornaments in class to bring home for your parents, be it popcorn garlands for the tree, a handprint clay …

Keep your crafty kids busy with this super easy project that uses things you probably already have at home! Salt paintings are so fun and we can show you how to make them super vibrant! It's kind of weird how I'm home all of the time and, yet, I'm not managing to get a whole lot of work done. I think a lot of it is the stress of not being able to get out.

After it dries you take off the tape, paint on the moon with white paint and use watered down blue watercolor to put shadows and lines on the trees. Here's the original idea at Art Projects for Kids. I like hers much better...almost enough to re-do mine! (My salt did something very different so I didn't add the white snow dots.)

We have been enjoying our studies of winter and snow in the classroom. Here in our part of California, we do not get much snow. However, the children are fascinated by the idea of snow. So we have lots of fun reading about snow and winter. This bulletin board has a few of the projects we did during this unit. Below are more details about each one. This was a fun way to make our backgrounds for the snowmen art look like a winter night sky. It is easy and can add lots of interest to a simple…

SUOLATAIKINA: 3dl vehnäjauhoja 1dl suolaa 1,5dl vettä (elintarvikeväriä) Sekoita jauhot ja suola keskenään ja lisää väri ja vesi joukkoon vähitellen koko ajan sekoittaen. Anna taikinan tekeytyä muutama tunti ja muovaile haluamasi kuvio. Paista kuvioita 100 asteessa, kunnes ne ovat kuivuneet kokonaan. Kuivumiseen saattaa kulua useampi tunti kuvioiden paksuuden mukaan. Maalaa kuvioiden jäähdyttyä.
