Winter Photos

If you haven’t noticed, we are lacking some snow this winter and while it makes adults happy, kids do miss it.  Here is the perfect wintry, snowy craft that will encourage your child’s creativity without the need for cold or a shovel.

Transform an old photograph into a lovely winter scene, with a few strokes of the paint brush.  Children can make their scene a tranquil snowy morning or a blizzard at night.  The choice is up to them.

What You Will Need:

• Old photo that you don’t want anymore
• White tempera paint
• Thin paint brush
• Newspaper to protect your work surface

Steps:

1. Cover your work area with newspaper
2. Have your child paint snow on the photograph using the paint brush and white  paint. There are lots of different ways they can paint snow. They can add lots of small dots so it looks like it's snowing, or create large splotches piled up high to make snowdrifts.
3. Set aside the photo to dry.
