This week was filled with colorful projects and lots of painting. It seemed every where I looked someone was sharing a preschool painting project… someone must be itchin’ for some art fun! However, I decided to share a variety of ideas I discovered throughout the week to inspire all kinds of fabulous preschool fun.

Thanks for including our post on outdoor playspaces. The gingerbread house is amazing isn’t it?
You are welcome:)
Thanks so much for featuring my post about making pasta machine prints with Styrofoam. Clay would probably squish out any design you tried to print but Styrofoam holds up when it’s run through the pasta machine. If you try printing with clay let me know how it turns out!
