Below is a collection of links for projects that I’m calling “child art”.  However, adults benefit tremendously for approaching art creation through connections with their own child self and I suggest that you jump in to all this playfulness.

• dimensional paint made with craft paint and flour
• smooth cooked playdough
• star-shaped sidewalk chalk (or any other shape you have a mold for)
• coloring books (if you don’t have photoshop try gimp or fotografix)
• dyed tissue paper
• elaborate and mostly paper-crafted aquarium scenes
• snazzy cardboard box aquarium
• beautiful watercolor rainscapes (try this with some added salt too, as the author suggests)
• cheap and easy monoprinting
• also, monoprinting with jello
• felt beads and necklace instructions
• tissue paper and construction paper stained glass christmas trees
• make some paint with powdered milk (scroll down to the bottom for instructions)
