July 4th Art

The kids did a fun art project today for the Fourth of July. It is called cookie cutter art. I got the idea here. We used star cookie cutters and blue and red finger paint. I put the paint on a cookie sheet so it couldn't run anywhere but there is also plenty of room for dipping the cookie cutters.

Then they stamped the stars onto the paper.

Dip, Stamp, Dip Stamp!

The kids had a great time and the results are as individual as they are!

While waiting for a turn to do the star stamping I let the kids do other colors and other cookie cutters. Tori tried the yellow paint but didn't have much patience for this art project! She sure did have fun getting messy though!

    Agree w/the previous comment. My poor kids, who LOVE, LOVE, LOVE art, don’t get to do a thing b/c their mom is too lazy …
