Birthday party today at Art Life, we made clay shoeprint bowls. The kids loved stepping in clay and painting the wet clay to make a bowl. I noticed that they hestitated at first to step on the clay, then once they did they loved it...making footprints, even dancing on it! It's good to get kids to do projects that let them cut loose a little. We painted outside together on a mural - making messes, painting hands, and writing messages to the birthday kid. I couldn't have asked for a nicer group of kids or a nicer day at the studio today.
