Kids craft - painted geodes

14/8/2022

I love the colours, shapes and sparkle of a geode. So we thought we'd try making our own with whatever art supplies we felt like - watercolours, pens (markers) and a bit of bling!

How to make geode art:
* You'll need a large piece of thickish paper to start Any sort of watercolour or heavier drawing paper will do. 
* Get some scraps of paper in colours that work well together. 
(This can be a good opportunity to talk to kids about the colour wheel, complementary and harmonious colours if you like - colours on opposite sides of the wheel are called a complementary. Colours adjacent to each other are harmonious. A harmonious colour scheme works really well for this project.)
​* Rip the scraps of paper into a few different sized circle/oval shapes. These will form the 
centre of the geode so you want them to be increasingly bigger. Three or four pieces is enough. 
* Stick your ripped paper onto the large piece of paper right in the middle.
* Using pens draw around the outline of the largest piece of ripped paper and repeat as much as you like.
* You can add watercolour paint the same way (don't be afraid to wet the pen lines that adds to the effect) 
* We added glitter paint, some sparkling sequins and paint dabs to finish!

The school holidays certainly seem to have come round quick this time. Well I guess in Queensland they kind of did, we had a later start to term here due to covid concerns = a shorter term. Here are a few of our favourite ideas to keep the kids busy these school holidays. 

We've got a stack of FREE DOWNLOADS including the very popular emu template for kids to colour in. The blog also has some other fun ideas like this half face portrait idea, just search the Kids art and craft category. There's also our cut and sew fabric panels for kids to make their own cute animals cushions!
