Five For Friday - A Crafty Week and a Freebie
Friday, April 25, 2014I made a new product last weekend. My son is still trying to learn his abc's so I created a Cut and Paste Letter Sorting Activity. I think it turned out adorable. If you would like the first page head on over here to grab a copy for free.
My youngest son and I got really crafty at the beginning of the week. We decided to try our hand at making some watercolor paints. I really wanted the liquid kind that you just add to water, but they are so expensive and I couldn't bring myself to buy any. We got the idea from here for homemade watercolor paints. They turned out so well I think we'll do this again in the future when we run out of paint. I got the containers at the dollar tree. I wish they were smaller, but it's all I could find.
With the watercolor paints we created some of our own watercolor birds. I found this blog that is new to me on Pinterest the other day. She has so many crafty projects, a lot of them with watercolor, and they're even organized by grade. I spent so much time on her site the other day and pinned a bunch of things. Anyways, we got the idea for the birds from her. They're based on James Rizzi paintings. I think they turned out so cute. I painted one and my littlest son painted the other. He loved it! Sorry that the pictures a little dark. I need a better camera, but don't know what to get.
I've also been working all week on creating some of my own doodle kids. I made over 40 of them. I love how they turned out. I'm just not sure if I'll sell them or not because they're similar to what others make. I don't want anyone to think I'm copying, but I'll use them for myself. What do you think? Should I sell them or not?
This week has been so crazy. I've barely been home at all this week. I've been substitute teaching most of the week. Wednesdays I volunteer in my son's class, which is always fun. I even got to substitute in his class which was great. I'd gotten called to substitute for every day of the week except Wednesday. I try to take that day off because it's early release and my son would have to go the Boys and Girls club. He hates it there. I ended up turning down a job just so I could have a day off. My father in law is coming today and I needed one day to stay home and get the house cleaned! Anyways, it's been a crazy, but fun filled week.

So much good stuff on your five for friday!!! I just wish listed your letter sorting. I teach a lot of english language learners in K and that would be great for the beginning of the year! Thanks for passing along the water color recipe- pinned that for sure! Your water color painting are awesome- I'm going to try to work that in before the end of the year. And YES- I think you should sell your clipart. I've never seen kids with the stick arms and legs. Very cute!

Thank you so much for all your kind comments. It made my day.
DeleteI am heading over to check out the letter sorting pack right now. I am out of ideas for the lower students in my class who are still really really struggling with letters. We have done so many letter activities at this point, I need to get really creative!
