Teaching my Little Bookworms theme for this weeks open ended art was mixed mediums. I decided to use this theme as another little catch up session (don't know why I haven't been able to stay on top of doing these, but I WILL get better!).We painted/printed using corn cobs. After picking 20 ears of corn at Gran Gran's, I've been using it like crazy and knew these would make a fun painting tool once the corn was off. The kiddos thought it was so funny to paint with these.
They painted with red and yellow paint which mixed together to make orange. Painting with corn cobs is messy work!
After the painting dried we decided to make it into a collage. I gave them yellow crayons, markers, bingo dobbers, rollits, and anything yellow from my craft closet that could be glued on.
They had alot of fun doing this and because I wasn't involved I got the kitchen cleaned. I love sticking close by when they are doing art work because I LOVE some of the conversations they have during it. Having Laneybug here really added to that conversation.
And this is the beautiful finished product! Hopely next time we won't have to be playing catch up.

I love the corn on the cob idea! Looks like messy fun!
This is just the best kind of art!! Truly insprires creativity.
So creative to use the corn cobs! And I like how the whole table is covered with paper so they can paint all over it if they want to and in the end it's one piece of art. And it looks fantastic!! Good for you for being able to get something done while they did this!
I love the fish :)
Neat project. It looks like everyone had a lot of fun. It would never occur to me to paint with corn cobs :)
