spin shells

I glued the shells onto a matt board base prior to spinning.  
After the spin paint has dried you can color and paint the base. 

yay!

CAST OF CHARACTERS








summer ART wouldn't be complete with out puppets!  
We start off with paper mache, wait a day and then we paint.

There's something about this line up that cracked us all up.
AND we all need a little more of THAT!
