Yey for another Outdoor Play Party! For regular readers apologises for my absence, but we've been moving house. We have however managed to slot in a bit of outdoor play, including this outdoor styrofoam art. If you've been playing outdoors with kids then please share, and enjoy our outdoor art.
I had a leftover styrofoam base from a frozen pizza we'd eaten and thought it'd be fun to try out some sticky art completely inspired by this beautiful mosaic art from CBC kids.
I painted the styrofoam with acrylic paints and then chopped it up into different shapes and sizes.
It made for a pretty assortment and I found some book covering paper, the sticky sheets you can buy and took both outside to the boys.
The boys all got stuck in, our eldest Bud (age 5) got very stuck in and was soon bossing his brothers around with instructions as to what to place where.
Gradually the collage built up and they had a story to match as to what it was all about, as they always do!
Then the picture was enhanced by adding in some natural stuff from the garden leaves, stones etc. So what was planned as a bit of art fun in the garden ended up embracing the fact we were outdoors which I enjoyed, made me feel a bit mother nature-esq, but in reality I suspect the boys just enjoyed encompassing dirt into yet another area of their life! Ah well!
And so to the Outdoor Play Party, lots of brilliant outdoor play ideas last time my favourite was the colour matching from Train Up A Child (itself a guest post from Twodaloo). Really pretty, great for little learners and would brighten any garden, worth checking out!
