DIY Art Display for Kids Room

 Our art displays have certainly gotten larger over the years (because of course!) yet I love the simple look and over all idea of the design's I've made through the years though this time I used wooden glue and transformed a wooden plaque into our own whimsical floral creation for my youngest to hang and display her art.  Along with a more pop of color💗

Supplies and details of where everything is from? Listed out below.

Supplies

Wooden Frame Plaque 

Clothes Pins

Wood glue (this is what I used here)

Pink Paint (similar shade  here!)

Wooden flowers (for base frame)

Add-on Flowers to make it "3D"  here and here

Easy Way To Paint Easter Eggs With Kids

 Featuring CHEEKS Brand Silicone Craft Mats

Yes, it's early though then again so is Easter this year. Amen?!

Using gloves and or the good old fashion plastic zip lock bag in our hands is what we usually do when painting Easter eggs with my girls (as I'm sure you saw in stories over on Instagram) 

Though I was SUPER excited to try out these paper mache' Easter eggs with our craft mats! Especially since each half lays steady on top of our CHEEKS Brand silicone mats while my girls painted on them this past weekend. 

And although we've created on top of our  CHEEKS Brand craft mats for various projects over the past year, it's by far my favorite for when used to paint with kids!

 About a year ago I said it was, "The best craft mat for kids" and I still believe that. Not only is Nicole the CEO of the company though she's also a mom of 3 who was the first to ever invent the collapsable creator mat and it clearly shows in her quality of the product. It's unmatched in my opinion. 

 Let alone the clean up? Just rinse off your paint and glitter in the utility sink. Pure Magic.

Then the best part of this DIY? You can have both an Easter egg hunt (stickers inside or jelly beans if you prefer) and later in the day, kids can help you place them on top of the table for a whimsical brunch or dinner center piece. (Just remember to add on that Mod Podge last for protecting your paint)
