I grabbed a handful of grass, picked a quickly wilting
tulip and pulled some of those uber-invasive dandelions to make an abstract art
activity.
What You’ll Need:
·
Colorful natural items such as grass and
flower heads
·
White paper
What You’ll Need To Do
1. Hit
the backyard and pick a fistful of grass, deface some dandelions or grab some
freshly fallen flower petals. You’ll need vibrant or bold items to make the
color transfer.
2. Have
your child “draw” or “finger paint” with the natural items on plain white
paper.
3. Even though it may seem like grass stains
magically appear with almost no effort on your kiddo’s clothes, they actually
take some muscle to make. Your child
will need to gather together a bunch of blades (of grass, that is) and push
them across the paper. Dandelions and flowers are much easier to transfer the
color.
4. If
your child wants to go beyond an abstract artwork (even though his mini
masterpiece may rival some of the contemporary pieces that you may see in a
gallery), he can fill in a simple marker or crayon drawing with colorful plant
life. Have him draw the outlines of a design, and then push the plant color on
the paper in the same way that he would fill in a coloring page.
