Hi there, today I wanted to share with you a project I made for one of my girls. I decide to make some mini chalkboards as she loves to draw. I also think its a great way to free there mines of all the digi gadgets. It’s also great opportunity to sit with her talk about how was your day. Plus I adore drawing with her and we make funny faces at times with crazy hair etc… it always allows for plenty of laughter.
Here’s a picture of what I used:
cheap hardboards
chalkboard paint
chalkbord liquid pen
paintbrush
the crafters stencil: 6 x 6 doodling templates many mini faces
Step 1: Paint your board with chalkboard paint a few times. Make sure each coat fully dry in between coats
Step 2: Place stencil on board, using the liquid pen trace face on to painted board. remove stencil and allow to dry for a few minutes.
Step 3: Hand the boards and some colored chalk to the kids and allow there imagination to add hairstyles , hats, earrings, makeup etc.
A simply activity for the young ones. The possibilities are endless!
Thanks for popping by and I hope you were inspire to create something for a little one.
