Mila loves painting, but let's be honest--most of them are just messy blobs. Regardless, we put up this simple ribbon and clothes-pin art displayer (thanks for the great idea Audrey + Levi!) to show off her masterpieces:
But yesterday Mommy wanted some art for the cork-board above our beverage cart, and since she was hoping for something slightly more sophisticated than Mila's usual blobs, a search on Pinterest provided a fun new idea perfect for all ages.
Mila painted the "bubble side" of bubble wrap with fun colors. It would probably work better using your hands, but our little Van Gogh prefers a brush.
When she was done Mommy pressed it "bubble side" down onto white paper, gently removed it and was left with two interesting works of art!
We also made these Easter eggs, but they required a little more effort than what a 2 year old can offer (meaning Mommy rushed to finish just a few more good ones while Mila relentlessly pulled on her pant leg and whined for "mo paint, peeeease"):
