Details, details details…

Congratulations to all our students for a fabulous art show! We are so proud of you! It was so much fun to see everyone dressed up and some people even had flowers! One dad bestowed personal awards to his children because he had to leave for work before they arrived…adorable! Thanks to everyone that helped with set up and break down..many hands make light work!

Art Adventures Photo/Video Release form

Say Cheese!

Hi friends!  To make it easier to get the word out and keep everyone current  about Art Adventures,we are sending home a yellow form with your child giving us permission to take photos and/or videos of them in class.  Basically, this makes it a much easier job of showing what is happening in art and not omitting the most important element…the kids!  Please fill out and return your form as soon as possible, and be on the lookout for new pictures.  Videos may be short instruction or just for fun! We don’t use any names with the pictures, just smiling faces and good times!

Thank you as always for your support of Art Adventures.

Kool-Aid Playdough

Making play dough with the kids is easy and much more fun than the store bought kind…especially when you cook it… here’s our favorite recipe:

Kool-Aid Playdough with Cream of Tartar (Nonedible)

The addition of cream of tartar makes the playdough last longer. You can find cream of tartar in the baking supplies aisle at your grocery store. This playdough, if stored in an airtight container in the fridge will last months( up to 6 months ).

• 1 cup flour
• 1 cup water
• ½ cup salt
• 2 to 3 tsp cream of tartar
• 1 package Kool-Aid mix (6 g pkg)
• 1 Tbsp cooking oil

Mix the dry ingredients together in a medium saucepan. Slowly add the water mixed with oil and stir over medium heat until mixture thickens to dough. Let cool a few minutes and then knead until smooth.
