Snow Themed Art Round up!

Here is a nice little round up of snow themed art projects to do during the winter season

I love doing art with the girls. It is probably my favorite “educational” thing to do with them. Planning ahead can be hard but Im thinking that setting the time to do something like this snow themed art round up for each month will help.

Honestly, sometimes the week gets away from me. Between errands that need to be ran, park dates, homeschooling and house clean up…quality art time with the girls gets all but forgotten. By Friday the week has whisked right by us and I realize that I never set the time aside to plan for art.

Now, Im not saying that art can’t be a spontaneous thing. We have a special cabinet full of art supplies that the girls are free to pick and use through out the day at their whim. The girls spend most mornings after breakfast coloring or cutting while I clean up the kitchen.

But I like having a streamlined art project that fits a theme that we are loosely following for the week or month.

If I had a preplanned list of simple art projects in front of me, then it would definitely be much easier to incorporate it into our week!

So, my plan here is…

To put together a nice little list of enough art projects to get you and myself through a month! There may be times where I share enough for two projects a week or just one a week.

And a friendly reminder, you don’t have to do an actual “project”. Pulling out some paint and paper is perfectly enough. Or cutting strips of paper to do something abstract. I find that my kids do best with a mix of instructed art as well as abstract free form ideas with no direction at all.

My purpose with these monthly art round ups is to help take the anxiety or overwhelm out of being intentional with what I do with my kids. I feel like there is so much pressure to “do it all or do nothing”, and what I really want to get out of this is some mental headspace and visual aspect of what some easy art options are for me to do with my kids.

I hope that these round ups will be helpful for you and inspire you to also be more intentional with your children!

So let’s get to it then.
