Art Projects

Lately I finally have felt like Mckinley has started to get old enough for a structured art project--more than just coloring or writing on the chalkboard. For Christmas Mckinley got this really cool present that basically is a box of at least 7-8 different art projects all separated out into individual packages (link to My Giant Busy Box if interested). This thing is super cool for the not-so-crafty-new-mom, AKA me. :) It is impossible to screw up. Also the projects are fun and pretty low mess.

In the last few days Mckinley (with the help of mom or dad) has completed three of these projects. I still think she is obviously a little young since a) she can't really do them all by herself and b) she gets bored with them after about 20 min., but we still have a lot of fun and I think it is good for her to work on projects that challenge her.

So now for a little art showing! :)

And here is the magic box...

At the pace she is going, we are going to run out of projects really soon! Hopefully I can find more of these boxes with different projects because they are a GREAT way to keep her occupied! :)
