This month the Kids Art Explorers have been enjoying a No Paint Brushes Allowed project. Creativity is encouraged when you set aside your everyday materials and try something different.

The Kids Art Explorers celebrate the process of art: trying new things, having a go, being daring, making mistakes. We’re interested in how things turn out but much more focused on the fun we have along the way. Here’s a whole year’s worth of ideas for the fun you could have if you tried painting with something other than a paint brush. [Read more…]

Kids painting: no paintbrushes allowed! paint station

This month’s Kids Art Explorers project is all about trying out painting – but with no paint brushes allowed. This week we set up a No Pain Brush Paint Station and went on a hunt to see what we could find around the house that might be good to paint with. The children found some great stuff. They discovered lots of different shapes and textures and were excited to be painting with things they considered rather daring!

The Kids Art Explorers project this month is enjoying a No Paint Brushes Allowed challenge. We’re trying out lots of different ways to use paint and inviting you to join in. The NurtureStore children have been hunting through our art and craft cupboard to find different materials they think will be great to paint with.  We also have lots of other blogs joining in the project and you can see some of the amazing art they’ve been creating below. But first, here’s what we created when we tried painting with drinking straws.

A huge thank you to all of you who joined in our Kids Art Explorers launch and got creative with pipe cleaners. You can find all the kids art ideas in our on-line Pinterest gallery. My girls have loved taking a tour around your projects and we were impressed with how many different ways you interpreted the pipe cleaner challenge: horizontal sculptures, play dough creations, colour studies, special messages. It made me so happy to see how many of your children took the lead and knew exactly what they wanted to create with the pipe cleaners, and how many of you went with it and facilitated your kid’s own creativity.
