Getting creative with our children - We3threeblog

In an earlier post I mentioned I was trying to get some guest parents on my blog to tell us about how they and their children enjoy to get creative and how we can do it to on those rainy days and the school holidays. I think it's important that we have hands on creative fun with our children and here, we3threeblog has shared their amazing creative pieces that you can do with your children too!

Here we have we3threeblog who has a son, Z, has just turned 4. 

- what sort of creative things do you and your children do?

We do lots of creative things, junk modelling, stickers, painting, sticking, chalking, drawing/colouring and play doh.

- How often do you do creative things with your children?

We do creative things most days as we dont watch tv til after tea or play on computers yet so we have lots of time to spend doing crafty things.

- What is your children's favourite creative activity?

Z's current favourite thing is cutting and sticking. He has a scrapbook that he likes sticking any of his favourite pictures in.

Our most recent make is robert the robot. i blogged about making him here http://we3three.typedock.com/blog/5709/junk-modelling---robot-. 

- what is your favourite piece of art work/ picture that you and your children made?
My favourite recent creative creation was our fruit art picture. we drew pictures of fruit, cut them out and stuck them in a drawn fruit bowl.  I blogged about it here http://we3three.typedock.com/blog/5454/fruit-art.

I think these are some amazing ideas and I look forward to trying them out with Max. Thank you we3threeblog for sharing them with us!

Getting creative with our children

So basically I thought it would be a great idea for everyone to share what they do with their children on those dreary days, whether it's painting, sticking, baking, drawing, modelling clay, finger painting etc. Because let's face it, there will definitely be a couple of rainy days when we will have to keep our children occupied through the school holidays! So here is mine and Max's craft...

Tell me about the crafts that you and your children enjoy doing-

Me and Max enjoy painting, glueing and baking the most. Anything that isn't too expensive and isn't too hard to do!

How often do you do creative things with your children?

We try to do something creative at least 3 times a week. Max isn't at nursery yet so I like to keep his kind active by doing hands on activities as much as we can.

What is your children's favourite creative activity? 

Max enjoys to do anything that's messy especially finger-paints, he likes to paint his whole hands and feet and make hand and footprints! He also loves to use the glitter glues which leaves us finding glitter everywhere for days!

What is the most recent art work your children made?

Myself and Max made a lovely picture this morning because it looked quite rainy outside and we didn't think we would be going out. We decided to make a flowery picture. I cut out the flower shapes and Max glued them down. There is a bit of glitter glue on there too which isn't any surprise if it's anything to do with Max!

What is your favourite creation you and your children have ever made?

One of my favourite pieces that me and Max made was his park picture. It was a dry afternoon and me, Nick and Max went for a walk in the park. We collected twigs and leaves and when we got home we made a picture from the things we had. It was a great day and it meant that the fun didn't have to stop when we got home. Not only that we have a lovely picture on the wall to remind us about the nice day we all had!
