MLK day means making beauty happen

We spent an hour at the Rockford Art Museum today. It was free entry and then you could go to the art studio to do a free craft. We loved it! Watching her face light up at certain works of art and having discussions about them was great. To celebrate the great life of MLK, we decided to make beautiful art and then donate our time at the local animal shelter, Noah's Ark animal sanctuary. Here are some of the pictures my daughter took of art that she enjoyed and a picture of the crafting process. It was awesome to have a big, messy activity that someone else planned, prepped and cleaned up after. Huge thanks to the museum staff for today's fun! If you haven't been, free day is a good day to start! Soothe your soul with art and support local by donating your time somewhere that means something to you. The lovely volunteers were extremely patient with our littles. They got to spread shaving cream on foil and use daubers to drop on water color paints. They swirled it with toothpicks and then pushed a piece of white paper over the whole thing and squeegeed the excess off to create abstract water color paintings. FUN!
