I did millions of searches online for paint projects and kids and decided to try as many that would could during one nap period. Once again...poor lauren! All in all, we were pretty successful! Here is what we did. And no, i'm not rating on how well he did...i'm rating on my opinion of the project.MARBLE ART - my rating.... A-
Ooh...this was fun. It was so easy, all you do is put your marbles in paint and then roll them around and you get these really fun patterns. I liked this one a lot and Robbie wanted to do it again and again!!
BUBBLE ART- my rating D-
What in the world is this????? They told me all I needed was paint, bubbles a straw( or licorice in our case) and paper. It was supposed to make this amazing piece of art when the bubbles hit the paper (you blow with a straw to make the bubbles, but all we got was a really wet piece of paper with smudges of color on it. The one thing that made this a D- and not an F was how cool the bubbles looked when they came out of the cup. Has anyone gotten this to work? I would love some tips!
KITE- my rating B+
Robbie loved this one! All he did was paint and decorate which he seems to like the most. Especially because it was turning into something.
FINGER PAINTING- my rating C
Robbie actually didn't dig this one as much as I thought he would. He just wanted to do handprints and it took about 10 seconds and he was bored! Kids...bored with finger painting??!?!?!? I never thought it would happen!
PAPER PLATE POCKET- my rating B
This is fun enough...once again, it has everything to do with actually creating something. He liked that it made a pocket that he could keep whatever he wanted in.
FOLD THE PAGE THING- my rating B+
Always fun! Dribble the paper with paint and stuff....fold in half....voila you have a masterpiece!!
CRAYON ART- my rating C-
I think this would have been more fun if Robbie caught on to what he was doing. He kept getting mad because I was telling him to draw on a white piece of paper with a white crayon and NOTHING WAS SHOWING UP!!. Silly boy. Anyway, he drew a face and then painted over it and amazing....there was his happy face.
Well, fun fun fun....if any of you have any great painting ideas please let me know! He loves it and i'm running out of ideas!

Hi Melissa-
These are great pictures. Ellie said that she did the marble art at school, also. My dad thinks they look great and has a project idea for you as well. He always talks about when he was in the 3rd grade. You take a piece of thick white paper and color a picture on it with regular crayons (really waxy ones work best)...he loved drawing pumpkins, witches, ghosts, goblins...other such halloween figures and then you paint over the entire thing with black paint and your picture shows through all cool like!! He has another really cool christmas craft...but it will take me too long to type it, so melissa...call my dad, he'll tell you all about it!!! Miss you guys!!
Robbie looks so cute and creative. Poor Lauren! It is nice that Robbie got to have alittle one on one time with his mom!
Bumpa and I were looking at all of your past blogs and we think our grandchildren should be in the movies! They need an agent! They are so cute with so much personality! Of course we are not biased. They really are amazing! When Lauren gets upset, she is just a Hollywood starlet in training! :-)
Love, Bubby and Bumpa
Thanks for the fun ideas. We are going to have to try some of these. I can see Kendyl loving the bubble one even though it got a poor rating. :) Also the marble one. Thanks.
