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.

Would you like to join our Kids Art Explorers? We’re going to pick a new material or process to try in each month – something which is easy for you to get hold of and which you can try out with your children. The Nurturestore kids will have a play and see what art they come up with, and I’ll share the results of our experimenting with you. We’ll also invite you to join in, try out the material for yourselves and share with us what you come up with. [Read more…]
