Art Journaling with my Family

We went to Saugatuck, Michigan last week (bet you didn't know that, because I pre-scheduled blog posts for that time.  You really should be careful what information you give out when you are leaving town. You don't want to come back to a ransacked house!)  Anyways, we were gone for about 5 days and went to the Indiana Dunes and stayed in a cabin in Saugatuck.  We went with my brothers, nieces/nephews and my parents.

We had a blast riding the dune buggy rides, playing at the beach and going shopping in the cute shops.

One afternoon, I brought out my art journaling supplies for my daughter and niece to play with.

Some of the supplies we used were:

• markers
• pens
• stickers
• Hello Kitty stampers
• papers that I had painted from my stash
• some of my homemade stickers
• patterned tapes
• random collage images
• pre-cut paper shapes

My niece is going into 1st grade and here are some of her awesome pages.  She was very prolific in the few hours we were making art.

My daughter enjoyed just cutting paper into lots of pieces

If you want to learn more about art journaling with kids, I wrote a little E-Zine! 

Next post, I will be showing you some of the pages I made on vacation.
