FUN IN THE SUMMER SUN "KID FRIENDLY CRAFT" WITH LINK UP


Welcome to the 1st of our Fun in the Summer Fun event! Each Monday until September 7th Mama to 4 Blessings along with Adventures of Mommydom, Sweet Diva, Harvest Moon By Hand, and Sweet Phenomena will be hosting Fun in the Summer Fun link up events.

Here's the line up:
The 1st Monday of each month: link up your "Kid friendly summer activities"
The 2nd Monday of each month: link up your "Kid friendly summer crafts"
The 3rd Monday of each month: link up your "Kid friendly summer receipes"
The 4th Monday of each month: link up your "How to stay cool in the summer heat"


This week's topic is Summer kid friendly crafts:

With all the rain we are having, we are doing things indoors lately.
I saw this craft on one of my favorite sites (Child Careland). Water color on paper towels
We used quilted paper towels along with watercolor paint.

My boys LOVED this and I am sure we will be doing it again soon - I will have to try it with my 2 year old next!


 Please share your kid friendly summer crafts, link up below!

    Love the stress-free nature of this craft!! My kids have always been fascinated watching the watercolors "bleed"!! =)

    I haven't tried watercolors like that, but we've done them on coffee filters. They make great window art.
