We had fun with a new art medium today. We explored making 3D sculptures with balloons and double stick tape. I got the idea from our copy of Storybook Art. This is a great book that has art project ideas that go with many excellent picture books.
Today we read Harvey Potter's Balloon Farm. I love the illustrations in this book. They are so imaginative. This book always brings out fantasy and fun in my children.
This was the kids' first time working with double-stick tape, and it took a little while to get the hang of it. They tried making their own sculptures, but they kept falling over. After a while they decided to work together to make a bridge. It came out well.
Blessings,

What lovely books and lovely creations! When my kids were younger we used balloons a lot in the winter. They just spark imagination and fun and get them moving when they could not go outside. I use to hide messages and treats inside of them. Then the kids would pop them. The messages were usually part of a game, our vocabulary for the week or our bible scripture.

ReplyDeleteMy children love balloons, especially the balloons that you do balloon art with. I have to say, "They are getting pretty good with them also." You guys keep having fun.
