Finger Print Pussy Willows

I saw this activity in the April 2012 edition of Family Fun Magazine.  I loved the simple effect of it.  This is one of those kids art activities that would be beautiful to frame, and it was so easy.  We used a brown marker and silver paint to create this fabulous design.  All you do is draw or let your kids draw their stem with little branches.  Then, they press their finger on a stamp pad and make the little fuzzy parts.  I drew the branches and helped guide Kenzie’s fingers to make the art seen above.  Then, I let the girls do their own (results below).  Kenzie wasn’t obeying at the table, so hers didn’t quiet get completed.  Our rule is that if they aren’t following instructions, they have to be done.  So, that was the case today.
