we painted one of our glass doors with paint.

I got the idea from the ever-creative
Sara Mincy, who always shares her colorful and fun family friendly activities. Like Sara, we just used the cheap $1 acrylic paint bottles. (It comes off very easily when your ready to wash it off)

I used black and quickly painted in the lines of the designs. It acted as a "coloring page" of sorts, so the kids had a clear guideline of what to paint.

Then the kids helped me fill it in.

Obviously, you see every stroke you make. I love the results. It looks like a giant piece of folk art!

It was a really fun family activity to do together!

How beautiful!!
Great idea, and it came out so cute!
I am sure the kids, and you, had a blast doing it.
Crissie, your book is ready to be mailed - sorry I have not gotten it off sooner. I pulled my back last week and it set me back a bit.
I love this! But I can definitely tell you are an artist. I'm not sure it would look as cute for me.
I love this! So cute.
WONDERFUL!!!!
