50. Harley Davidson Motorcycle
Cardboard for the back, find a real nice motorcycle for coloring, enlarge it 300% in paint, start puzzling, stick it on the cardboard and paint it in nice colors. This motorcycle is 1.5 meter 🙂
49. Cup of tea
Cardboard for the back, cardboard for the cup. Decorate the cup with nice stuff. Add the teabags.
48. Apple photo frame tree
Quite a bit of prefab-work. A piece of MDF saw a tree and apples.
For the children, paint the tree and apples, glue it all together with montage-kit. Put the pictures behind the apple frames.
47. Heart with flowers
In the secondhand shop, you can find a lot of basic material. We found this iron thread heart. Decorated it with lovely flowers and filled it with fiber threads.
46. Filegran Camera
On the left the original picture, on the right the one we have made 🙂
45. Wooden card
Take a piece of MDF, paint it and write a little poem on it, then decorate the capitals with buttons. Terrific success especially for boys!
44. Box of kisses
Cardboard, wallpaper, lace, a little charm, decorated paper, masking tape, double-sided tape.
43. Charity boards
Two wooden underplates, decorated with nice wallpaper. The left one has also wallpaper on the pegs. The pegs are pinned on a rubber rope. Between the pegs, you can clip pennies for the tithingman.
It’s intended that this board hangs at the front door. Now everybody is increasingly pinning, almost no one has any cash in their home for the tithingman. You can fill the board with 10 dollars or euros.
42. Memorandum
Buy a wooden underplate and glue some nice wallpaper on the back. This one is made for fathers day, so it’s decorated with a grocery list of the child ;), a little poem and some drawing and the days of the week. The chain with pegs is a leftover from a Christmas card decoration.
41. Bookmarker
Wow. Can’t believe how MANY ideas you have here. This could keep kids busy for YEARS!
I still have hanging on our bedroom walls the “greatest hits” of our kids art through the years. As the years go by I actually see more in them than I did at first. Little geniuses!
Number 6 looks cool. Did your kids do that??
Thank you, yes my son made #6 when he was 9 years of age, I have here a couple of real artists in my daycare. You may want to bookmark this page, for when the grandchildren invade your home 😉
Thank you for your nice comment, Loes
I love this site. The layout is quirky and fun, the colors are happy and it is so full of great ideas for kids. I would like to link it to my site familieshavefun, which is about things families can do together.
My gran daughter is coming to stay soon so I will be checking up thisiskidsart regularly for the 3 months she is here.
