life is full of hidden art

If you look closely enough, you can see art nearly anywhere you look!

LED tealight in the middle of the table with a glass of water in front of it.

just a simple glass of water becomes art with light behind it.

color lessons with Alpha Pops

matching the pops and discussing color

citiblocs become art ;)

makng a wooden spiral with the citiblocs


adding on some other blocks

translucent color chips on top of the table become art on the dirt under the table when the
sunlight hits them, reflecting the color on to the dirt! See all of the color on the dirt? It is from simple translucent color chips we got at lakeshore learning. We use them for many different things.

Graham and Colin used playdough and playdough tools on a tree to create some pretty neat art! We had a playdough and chalk playdate at the park and this is what they came up with on their own!

They had a really great time and it was their own idea!!!!

so into their art!  (BTW it removes easily from the tree with no damage)
They spent a lot of time on their art and kept going back to it

Parker, playing chase with a new friend at the park


Balloons with LED lights inside of them inside of a play tent

They had so much fun in the tent with the glow balloons that it was impossible to get a good photo!



drawing with highlighters is a favorite of Graham and Parker!

A close up of some glass bead gems we use in every day play becomes art!

a very artsy view of our marble run with close up

these squishy balls look awesome, they make a great artsy photo!

a close up of our light table stacking tubes looks so pretty

Some translucent stirrers we use on the light table looking very artful in this close up

Magna tiles always look very artsy!

I had an idea after we used these translucent color chips at the park for a playdough/chalk playdate

I got out the scotch tape and the translucent color chips and started making strips of bingo chips

when the sun shines through, they create a rainbow in the room!

So simple, yet so fun and pretty!
