Flower Power: A great Mother’s Day Gift made by children

This week Art Yowza co-hosted a PTA Family Fun Night at a local school to honor Earth Day.

Families enjoyed making art together.

We made extra ones to  donate to a local nursing home.

This could also be  a fun and easy Mother’s Day Gift Craft Project for Elementary Age Students.

Here are the instructions.

Spelling out the cute factor….

Fun was had by all ages…….

It’s a very intuitive interface, go give doink.com a try!  We’ve had a lot of fun with it.

Foil Action Figures= Green Art

I’m so excited to share this project with Crafty Crow readers during Green Art Month in April.

Kids will love this project so much that they’ll returning often to rummage through your recycling can.

Check out my step by step Foil Action Figure Slideshow to get started.

This is how my  after-school class expanded the project: 1)  dressing their sports figures  2)  stapling them onto cardboard and 3) decorating the scene.

I edited these pictures and made the slideshow with picnik.com
