Merging... and Pinterest

Look different?
I decided to merge my blogs. 
I have been meaning, for a while, to get back to blogging about crafts. Also, I have been wanting to start writing reviews and posting pics of the parks around here, if only for my own reference. It really didn't make sense to have two blogs, so I decided to just merge them. Same stuff, different page. And more crafts and pictures. 
I have a back-log of crafts to catch up on, but I decided to try a pinterest project that wasn't a recipe, so I figured that I would start there. 
Here is what I did:
I took painters tape, and made a design for each child. I put Ellie's name on a large sheet of paper, a "G" for Greg on another sheet. Ellie's was on a large drawing pad from Mellisa and Doug, Greg's on construction paper. 
Then I gave them paints, and told Ellie (helped Greg) to cover the whole page. 
After it dried, I removed the tape. 
This is what the results look like:
Some notes:
The construction paper worked much better than the drawing paper, which was thinner. It was a little hard to take the tape off, but I don't know of any kind that would be easier. 
Greg did some "drawing" with the wrong end of the brush- I really liked this effect! 



Overall, this was a super easy project, and the kids had fun.
