Decoupaged Plate Collage

This is my decoupage foam plate.  Things you need: foam plate, glue stick, mod podge, a foam brush, newspapers, and magazines.   Go through and cut out pictures you want and glue them down. Then you just mod podge over it let it dry and put a few more layers on. 

  We made this at our co-op so the kids had pictures of  fish, trucks, bikes, animals, and all sorts of other things.

Name Monster

This is my name monster!  His name is Jeremy, he has boxing gloves on his hands, an ear warmers on his ears, and a tie with hearts on it.  His nose it crooked and blue because he broke it.  He is very proud of his teeth which is why he is smiling so big. 

To make the name monster you fold a piece of paper the long way and then write your name all the way across the paper.  If you have a short name, you might have to put you middle and last initial.  Then cut around your name but, do not cut the folded edge.  Open up the paper and decide which end is the top and start coloring!

Identity Picture

This is an identity picture.  I drew this for an art class that a help teach at a little kid co-op.  You start by folding the paper into 16 squares then you put your name all scrambled around and start filling in the other squares with things you like.  Some of mine are goats, 4-H, Justin Bieber, ultimate frisbee, and reading.  

Some of the things the kids chose were favorite kind of ice cream, light sabers, dirt bikes, not the color pink, and fishing.

How To Float A Cow With Balloons

This is a picture I drew for a class I help with at a little kid co-op.  This picture shows combining primary colors.  First you draw an animal, they were studying animals of Minnesota so I choose a cow, or what ever you want, a bus, a house a monster, a shark etc.  The three balloons are the primary colors, red, yellow and blue.  Where they overlap each other is where the color blending comes in .  The yellow and red make orange, the red and blue make purple and the blue and yellow would make green.

The kids liked it and they had a lot of fun drawing the animals.  Most of them choose pigs oddly enough.  There are all boys in the class so their drawing were let's just say...interesting.
