Here’s another arty creative game to try with kids or just to do yourself. This is in the same vein as my post on drawings from scribbles and hair.
I just came across this idea here (and in her blog she links to other really fun blogs of the same). Here’s what you do. Draw some random blob with watercolor. Let it dry. Take a pen and make it into something. Here’s what I came up with. And I’ll admit it took four pages for me to get a whole page of them I thought were okay enough to share here (I’ll spare you Elvis Donkey, Upside Down Backpack Man, Rat Dog and the other characters from first few pages 😉 ) Here’s the before and after. Hope they inspire you to a few moments of creativity! It’s pretty addictive.
Space Monkey Twins 
That would be a cool thing to do with my painter girl although we probably won’t be publishing our results
Let me know how it goes!
Haha I love these, and I really wanna see Elvis Donkey! I feel like I played this game with my toddler all through year two. He would paint, and I would draw an outline to turn it into something to make him squeal.
That sounds so fun! Looking forward to when I can do that with my girls 🙂
Great idea!
Hope you get to try it!
You’ve got such a creative mind! Love your ideas! I will try it. Thank you for this!
You are crazy talented. Amazing.
Thank you.
Oh I love this idea! Gonna try with my kiddies! Thanks!
Any time! Hope it’s fun!
Upside Down Backpack Man sounds like THE MAN! Elvis Donkey…..I’m not so sure about that one. These are great fun, but I’m thinking…you obviously need another set of twins so you don’t have this much downtime! 🙂
Ha. You know that thing about if you need something done ask a busy person? I feel like twins in some way have inspired me to new levels of productivity 🙂
I love the way your creative mind works! SUCH a fun idea!
Obviously by an artist more skilled than the average two year old! It’s funny how much your blob interpretations varied from mine. I saw a fox stalking birds under a bright sun. A psychologist could have a field day…
I kind of want to see Elvis Donkey, though…
I know it is kind of like the rorschach ink blot test 🙂 I like your interpretation!
Oh, wow! That is so creative. I would have made some Pokemon characters but love the animal faces. So much fun!
That’s the fun thing about this-there are so many possibilities!
These are great! You are so gifted. xxxS
Thank you Sarah! I definitely had fun.
