Cold as Ice

Brrrr!!! It certainly has turned cold today, so our craft is reflecting how we feel - Frozen.

Frozen themes only need two colours - blue, and white to give different shades of blue.

With one piece of blue paper I used masking tape to make snowflake shapes. For the other piece I cut a toilet roll to make a snowflake printer.

Despite having lots of different brushes, the Zebra insisted on painting her hands and feet. She would then stamp and pat the paper to cover it white...

Once it dried, I peeled off the masking tape to give lovely blue snowflakes against a snowy white sky 

Next, the Zebra had blue paint mixed into the bowl and was given the toilet roll stamper. Things started well and she made some snow prints, but it wasn't long before the toes got in on the action and the piece became a big blue smear! 
We did have a bit of artist temper half way through as the Zebra was clearly not happy with the direction her work was going, and demanded a clean sheet of paper...


The way things are feeling here, we may have some real snow in the next couple days!

  2. I love this! the snowflakes using masking tape look great! I thought you'd scraped the ice of the windscreen of a car in those shapes until I read it and realised it was paper :') Looks fun :D

  22. Looking over your posts, the zebra sure does like painting with her feet! haha. What a clever kid. Why use just your hands when you have so many other appendages to work with? Here's to hoping you all have more good fun with crafts while it's too cold to venture outdoors.
