In honor of St. Patrick’s day, we had a special art project today with our art playgroup<\/a> friends.\u00c2\u00a0 First, each child was given a bowl of blue and yellow paint to mix, creating our special color of the day, GREEN!<\/p>\n

\"Green<\/p>\n

Then the kids used these potato stamps to stamp the paint onto their paper.\u00c2\u00a0 I carved heart, triangle, and square stamps.\u00c2\u00a0 I used a small cookie cutter for the hearts, and free-handed the others.<\/p>\n

(How is it that I haven’t shared this yet?)<\/p>\n
