I’ve been stocking up on art supplies for the kids and I found these Water Brushes. Can I just say, these things are awesome!!! We do a lot of watercolors here and one of the biggest obstacles is the water control. These brushes eliminate dirty water, over watering, and water spillage. When you need more water, just give them a little squeeze and poof…the brush is wet. I love that when you want to switch colors, you just squeeze and the water cleans the brush. No more poopy brown watercolor paintings!
Today, we made personalized postcards for friends. I know my kids love to send mail, but more than that, they get such a kick out of getting mail. I know their friends will love it just as much. Also, it’s a good way to keep in touch over the summer break.
For this project I used:
Watercolor Postcards
Water Brushes
Watercolor Crayons
Waterproof Pens
I gave Jacks some postcards and had him add the names of some friends. He does my creative heart proud with his fancy, schmancy lettering skills. He even names them. The puffy looking “J” in the picture above is called the, Pinecone letter. After he had all the names done, he went back and colored them in with the watercolor crayons. I love these crayons! We use them a lot. Next to liquid watercolors, they are my favorite. They are bright and they blend beautifully. Once dry, they are ready to write on and pop in the mail.
I think postcards are my new favorite form of kid mail. We already sent a handful of these out last month. I think next time, we will do a bunch of thank you postcards.
