I can’t believe we’re already into August and although I’m excited for pumpkin spice everything, I never want to say good-bye to summer. It’s just so refreshing to sit on the patio and watch the kids play into the evening, the warm thunderstorms and hot days spent at the beach or adventures on the farm. Those simple things make summer the best!

But before summer turns into another school year, there is one craft I want to share with you–
If there is any craft my kids would choose over any other, it would be painting! The boys love to use paintbrushes and even their little fingers to create art or just another reason to get messy on a rainy day. Also, at this age it’s a great learning opportunity to teach Jack how to mix colours together to create another colour… it’s pretty mind-blowing for a 4-year-old!

DIY LEMON STAMP ART WITH THE KIDS 

THE SUPPLIES NEEDED :

• 1 lemon
• paint
• art paper (thick enough it wont crinkle)
• picture frame

What I love about homemade crafts and artwork created by your sweet lil babes is that it will always something you will cherish. Whether it’s framed and on display in your home or in a memory box, these are simple little keepsakes created by those tiny little hands that one day won’t be so little anymore. These little pieces of art are their first proud “I made this for you, Mom” moments that just make your heart melt!!

A  little keepsake made with love…
