The broken crayon is the bane of my craft box. If you're int he same boat as me it's time to collect all those broken bits and get to crafting. My kids have wanted to do the "painted rocks" art and leave them on our local trails for awhile now. The issue is all the… Continue reading Q-Kids: Hot Rock Art

I know these past two weeks I've posted about teaching art classes but in all honesty I'd had those posts scheduled out before the whole virus crisis happened. I'm not teaching right now at all. But it occurred to me that just because I don't have a classroom to go into that I can't share… Continue reading Q-Kids Daily Art Activity
You'd think rule one of any teaching class would be never turn out the lights. But here I am, the newly minted art teacher, closing the blinds and flipping the switch.

Regardless, I still check them and occasionally I find a little gem that I want to work with. So for a quarter I picked up this sad looking picture… Continue reading Framed Toddler-isms DIY
