Halloween is next month and we have already started planning our costumes. My daughter told me ages ago that she wanted to be a bat this year for Halloween.

These adorable mixed media haunted houses are a wonderfully spooky Halloween art project for the kids. With fall quickly approaching, pumpkins, apple picking and hayrides have been on our mind.

We love experimenting with different painting techniques. Recently, we played around with salt painting. The process was so cool and generated a lot of ooohs and ahhhs from my daughter. She loved the way the paint spread out quickly as it touched the salt. Today, we switched the salt for sugar. The technique and results […]
